Default Help me locate Coolant leak

Hey guys. As you know... I've recently aquired a 97 z28. It's leaking right in front of the right front tire. It looks like it's underneath the resevior. You guys got any ideas?

you could have overfilled the coolant reservoir or there might be hole in it,the bottom radiator hose is also right there also so it could be from there.

Mr Alih is right once again!! Look at the lower radiator hose. You should be able to see the area where the hose is leaking if in fact that is the one. Plus Alih pointed out something that most people, including me, overlook. I had a leak in that same area and it ended up being my reservoir. It actually cracked and was leaking.

Thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it. I've got today off, so I'll take a look at it today. Now I get to work on whatever is squeeking in the front of the car. I'm hoping it's a loose shock.

Squeeking? Haha! Could be a number of things! When was the last time the front suspension got greased? Good luck finding it!
