    Hey guys so I went outside this morning to go to work and saw a trail of liquid going out the front of my car on the driveway and I knew something was wrong but I had to go to work so on the way it was getting way hotter than normal but I made it. Then before I left work I filled it up with coolant and made it like a mile and it started overheating so I pulled over and let it cool down and then got it home luckily. After jacking it up it seems like the leak is coming from drivers side bottom corner.. Which makes me think my drain plug is leaking.. Do you think I could be right? It seems like that's the only thing it could be. Any advice would really help me thank y'all

    Open the hood, start it up and watch as it warms up and look for the leak.

    When I'm feeling lazy, I use coolant uv dye, light, and glasses. Never failed to spot an external leak. Easiest if engine is relatively clean to begin with. Good luck
