coolant leak?

when I park the R52-S for a while I get a pool of coolant under the front bumper. With everything so tight its hard to see where its coming from what are the most likely causes or areas of leakage? it still has the stock coolant tank but I can't see that being the cause of the coolant under the front bumper!?!


Thanks.

Radiator and front hoses?

You'll have to dig in. There are tons of places it can leak from. Water pump flange, thermostat housing, radiator/radiator hoses.

How far back from the bumper is the leak, and which side of the car?
