There is a metal pipe on the back head that has coolant in it going to the heater core. Also there are also small rubber hoses (2) on the driver side toward the rear of the engine. Run your hand under the above listed items to see if you can feel coolant. If the above don't show any leak then it could be a head gasket leaking to the outside of the engine. Good Luck

Power steering hose diagram

power steering hoses run from pump to the steering box, (high pressure) and from the steering box to pump (low side).. is a closed connection. pump to box, then from box back to pump. High pressure should have pressed on fittings, while low side may have normal water hose clamps or replaceable hose without pressed on fittings.

Coolant dripping from from front of oil pan on 1999 chrysler 300 m

Check that your hose clamps are tight and that there are no ruptures in the hoses. The best way to find leaks is make sure you radiator is full and run the vehicle until plenty warm and look for any spraying or dribbling. Be sure wipe off any wet hoses or parts of the engine before you start this test. It will make it a lot easier to tell where the leak originates.

I think my water pump is leaking on my 98 nissan altima

Very possible. The water pump will be run by the timing belt behind the engine cover and on the same side of the motor as all your external belts. Make sure there are no hoses close by that could be leaking and if not it will probly be the water pump. Usually they will make a noise when they are failing. Remeber if it is just a drip and it is hot outside if you run your air conditioning it will drip water from the condenser as well.

My 97 buick park avenue is leaking and causing the temp to go up where can i find the leak at?

It could be a number of places. I assume you mean that the coolant is leaking. You need to get it pressure tested to find the leak if it is not "dripping" where you can see it.

Yes you are correct the water pump is driven by the timing belt so if it leaks it will run down the back side of the engine from behind the timing belt cover :)
