Leaking radiotor fluid, HELP!!

[datdookie]

So while i was installing supers hfc or at least getting to it i see radiator fluid leaking from the bottom block(around the front of the motor). Right now i have no clue what it could be i just want to know if im screwed or is this an easy fix, or what could it be at least.

Oh and this was about 4 hours drive back and fourth from long beach to oceanside.
Car has just hit around 200,xxx.

need a little more info....



Was it running/ or left running?

Pics? or left side right side??


Could be a bad hose, waterpump, thermostat, radiator, temp switch or head gaskets... or???

its comming ftom the driver side leaking onto my headers. i was thinking water pump because thats the only thing ican think of. oh and it drips a lot as of right now i added fluid and it seems to be fine but i know its noyt going hold. i hope its not the head gasket.

What year is it?

Water pump sits basically right above the thermostat housing where the lower radiator hose goes to the engine, but behind the timing cover. If you have coolant dripping from behind the timing cover, pretty much certain it is the water pump.

Head gaskets-you will see it coming from where the block and head meet. Not much to say there.

Fix it asap if youre gonna keep driving it... or else deal with a bad waterpump, headgasket and possibly more.
