Check all the hoses. next, check the water pump, should be behind the fan. If the bearings have gone bad in the water pump, it can sometimes leak coolant everywhere.

Belt slipped off leaked antifreeze can i replace the belt and still be able to drive it

if there was a coolant leak then the squeak is more than likely the water pump hence the leak, a belt coming off would'nt cause a coolant leak on its own ,i'd get the water pump checked

Intake antfreeze.leak

I hate when that happens ! if you can visually see the coolant leaking out from intake manifold @ gasket, yes it needs replaced. the gaskets. just did it to my winter car that sat outside, a lot of work , just to replace the gaskets. don't think agasket sealer would work here, intake manifold needs to come off along with alot of other things, PATIENCE is a virtue, good luck

Antifreeze leaking onto belts don't know where it is coming from. Is it the water pump or the water outlet? changed the hoses

What you need to do is pressurize the cooling system, then you should be able to see where the leak is coming from.....There is a tool that does this pressure test.

I smell antfreeze when turning a corner in my 1996 Chev s-10 w/ 4.3. No visible leaks and no over heating. Help?

I would first check in the cab on the floor just under the heater to make sure there isn't any antifreeze leaking there. Check the resovour and make sure is isn't over full. If leaking in the cab the heater core is bad. You may have to drop the heater core housing which is not very easy. Check around the heater hoses very carefully for any slight leaks. Good luck.

How do you change antfreeze

Dude you should have a drain plug on th bottom of the radiator. Remove and drain it out, run water through the system for a good ten minutes. Then reinstall drain plug and fill your cooling system with the correct antifreeze. You fill canister should be on the left side of the car and you should use GM Goodwrench DEX-COOL or Havoline DEX-COOL coolant.

Nissan Sentra anti-freeze turned to a thick gray pudding

Have it towed DO NOT RUN IT !!! Likely what you are seeing is engine oil in cooling system. (you will likely have coolant in oil as well, and a blown head gasket.Removing the oil fill cap you may find similar residue there) Antfreeze is not a good lubricant and can damage crankshaft bearings.
Did the engine overheat or run very low on coolant (reason for change of pump)? If so the head gasket problem was caused by that.
