Leaking coolant passenger side

[Nichole colosky]

Hi guys! I need help figuring out what exactly is leaking...it's dripping out on the bottom passenger side, looks like next to my radiator? Like a seal is broken. Please help

Welcome to this forum! Connect a cooling system pressure tester to see where the leak is coming from.

Which engine?

Using this thread as a guide only, picture 2 shows how to remove the plastic radiator belly pan. Once removed you will probably see a good amount of coolant there, indicating a seam leak on the side of the radiator.

This is the most common leak in the area you described.

If you do need a new radiator, I would completely service the cooling system , now is time for a flush.

What engine does your Explorer have?

Passenger side - bad heater core possible, or hoses leading to heater core bad? Is the leak coming from condensation drain from heater box? Does the inside of your vehicle smell like AntiFreeze?
