    I have a 2000 gran prix that I just bought. It randomly leAks coolant from the bottom on the drivers side from what looks like the radiator drain. Any ideas of what this could be and if its an easy fix?

    could be a cracked radiator, you can buy or rent a pressure tester to force it to leak, then track down the leak.

    I'd agree, more than likely the end tank on the radiator is cracked. It'll be a pain to find/diagnose until you pull the radiator out to change it.
