-- Update--
Replaced the water pump (only cause i didnt trust it) and replaced the elbow. Seems to be fine now. The elbow was COMPLETELY rotted away and it was obvious this was the cause of the leak.

Hi,
I've been experiencing a coolant leak recently. I put a whole container of dexcool in it and it was all gone after driving about 80 miles. I looked around but I really cannot find any leaks on the ground or anything, but this stuff must be just draining somewhere I cant see. I read some other forums and I was wondering if it is the water pump, the elbows, or the LIM gasket. I see wetness around the water pump but I really don't see anything that can justify 2 gallons gone. I really can't find much wetness.
Other info
- There is a strong smell of burning dexcool when I drive
- Pump is making noises (at least i think it is the pump)
- Car is getting hot
- Smoke comes out from underneath the alternator when I stop after a drive
thanks for reading
