My sister's 92 3.1 V6 RS is leaking a lot of antifreeze. Over the Thanksgiving weekend I checked it out and it looked like the lower radiator hose was shot. I replaced the hose and it appeared to solve the problem. The next day I come out and there is another huge puddle of antifreeze under the car. I would fill it up and let the car run for about 10-15 minutes and I don't see any leaking. Any ideas on what it could be?

It doesn't look like its in the area of the radiator but more below the engine.

could be the water pump these have weep holes in them. When the seal goes is escapes from the weep hole( the weep hole helps prevent premature bearing wear during a leak)

Thanks for the reply. I am really hoping it is the waterpump. The job doesn't look that bad and Strauss only wanted like $25 for the pump.

Nah, it is easy. You should be able to see the antifreeze trail coming from the hole from underneath.
