I have a 2006 chevy impala that is leaking coolant i change the radiator cap cause it was the cheapest that didnt work so my guy came over rense everyhing with water and applied a pressure guage on the radiator no leaks could be found but than i went to store than home and i notice the leak is back is it my water pump or what and y didnt the pressure detect it at the time
If you don't know where it is coming from, you have to find that out. Check the location of the spot on the floor, if you don't have a floor, put down a piece of cardboard, locate the drip, then look under the hood for what it is that is leaking. It could be the overflow on the expansion tank, could be your AC condensate line dripping, could be one of those tiny coolant lines that return to the back of the engine, could be the water pump, could be a hole in a hose. I don't know why the pressure check didn't show anything, might be something else. Check it out.

OK, front of the engine, I take it you have a V-6,? The leak will be noticeable in the middle of the engine, there is a weep hole for the water pump, you should be able to see it. I just read up on this, it is a fairly common problem, some times it's the gasket giving way from the new pink coolant they are using. It is an easy fix from below, the belt will give you a tough time because of the tensioner. And the pump itself is listed for $45. Use no glue on the gasket. Hope this helps.
