    Could be plugs afiixed to water pump. Best to take Lower under belly panels off and trace the source of the leak.

    probably the hose with clamp to line to front of car. Tighten the hose clamp. Found it was common after servicing.

    yes, depending on how small a puddle it could be the expansion cap...360 caps notoriously bad...the think maybe the 430's the same? Anyone? Could be a simple fix if its the cap. try AW parts..$40

    Good to know. I think I've seen that small tube in the bottom of the car while it was on the lift at the shop.
