My 1997 sport has got a coolant leak i know its not the water pump because its back right where the engine meets the transmission and i replaced the water pump just last week. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It comes down right at the started and right where the engine meets the transmission. I looked all around for any other information but i couldnt see above the starter.
 












Possibilites

Start with the basics and check your hoses and make sure you do not have a pin hole leak in one of them or they are loose.

You might check the thermostat housing for a crack. When that happened to me it would only leak under pressure and it would spray coolant on top of the valley cover. It made it look like I had a blown head gasket. (Long shot)
