coolant leak on 2000 LS V8

[pressley]

Hey Guys! I need a little help here, I recently replaced the coolant reservoir less than a month ago because the car overheated and they said that reservoir was cracked and it was leaking coolant. But 2 days ago i found a puddle of coolant underneth the car. I was hoping someone knows about this. Thanks in advance

oh thanks, did they admit that they cracked it putting it in? or they gave you a hard time?

maybe a hose was not tightened properly?

I noticed mine has a bad plastic union block up by the radiator that cracked and is leaking. It is in line with the upper raidator hose and a smaller heater size hose comes off of it. Maybe if they were shifting stuff around in there they could have cracked that as well?

Where is the leak/puddle? If it's just behind the drivers side front wheel, approx 6-10 inches towards center of car (counting from outer edge of drivers side of car), chances are, it's the reservoir or hose coming from reservoir.
