2002 chevy cavalier 2.2 engine steady stream of coolant from the front of the engine while the engine is off. As I pour it in the fluid streams out. Hoses are fine. I replaced the water pump, and it does not seem to come from the water pump.
Did it leak before you replaced the pump?

Testimonial: "Yes. As it sat in the driveway, it began with a slow leak and then started streaming. I thought the water pump and changed it. The current leak seems to be the same as it was before changing the pump."

unless you have a garage or access to a floor jack and stands or a lift, dont try this at home, the right side of the engine will have to be stripped away to get to the plug

Has the thermostat been changed lately? did the fluid leakage start about that time? check the thermostat housing and the heater hoses. i would also check that the correct gasket was used on the water pump. it is not unheard of to get the wrong gasket with the water pump. they may look right but a small difference can make all the difference. is it the correct water pump? are all the bolts on the water pump tightened properly?
SOURCE: coolant leak at the front of the engine
The water pump is located along the left side of the engine underneath the plastic covers. You coolant leak is most likely a radiator hose.

freeze plugs are supposed to pop out if the coolant starts to freeze in order to keep the block from cracking. the holes the plungs sit in are als used to cast the engine. see a mechanic and tell him you need a freeze plug replaced and show him which one it is, it won't cost more than $35. PLEASE RATE MY ANSWER.
Are you referring to the top radiator hose that goes into the thermostat housing? If so then yes you have an o-ring seal on the bottom of the thermostat housing.
