Anti-Freeze dripping when it's cold.....
A few days ago I did a radiator flush and they put new anti-freeze, couple days later I noticed when the car is cooled and not been used and when i turn it on and let it sit a good amount of antifreeze pours out from the tube where they took off to perform the flush, happened three times already and mechanic can't see any leak anywhere, it doesnt leak all day just when its cool. Is this a possible tube that's still a bit loose or something else? Is it serious? The temp is normal so I dont know.

What tube are you talking about? If it is a hose, there could be a crack in the hose under the clamp, or the fitting under the hose could be cracked. If you are loosing coolant and not replacing it, the engine will eventually overheat and cause expensive damage. Take it back to who did the flush.

^^^ agree take it back and have them do a pressure test to see if its in the cooling system or the overflow. if its not leaking with a pressure test i would suspect the overflow hose or connections to it is leaking.

It could be a loose hose or the clamp is not on right. My friend's 95 has the same problem right now. I am hoping his is a lower hose I really dont want to tear into a 3.4's timing cover. Jack the car up and check out all the fittings and clamps.

K so came back from the shop, theres no cracks, no other leaks or anything, they tighten the clamp a bit more and there was alil gap in between the clamp and the holes so they put it more close together, lets see if this problem goes away.
