Unidentified leak

[Just ask]

Hey guys, my 99 century is leaking antifreeze, we can’t tell where it’s coming from. We’re getting it on a rack tomorrow to see where it’s coming from but I know next to nothing about cars and am worried to death it’s a gasket, can anybody weigh in and give me their thought?

if your car has a rad cap, rad cap neck should be checked for smooth since its plastic. engine, pics? etc... we can help you with more info... also I would NOT jump to gaskets of intake unless youre finding coolant coming that from intake rather than anythingelse.

I would be checking hoses and clamps

Like BuickGirlFromMars said, loom over the hoses and the hose clamps. You might find a loose hose clamp or a hose that has cracked.

Not mentioned is the engine size, so there are some basic things related to which one it is. But it's all forum theory not being able to have a general area of the leak hoses, clamps, elbows, radiator or engine unfortunately are all suspected.

If you can post the engine and what may found on the inspection additional information could be posted.

3100 was the only engine for the Century in 1999.
