Leaking from front passenger side?
I need help I'm leaking from the front wheel on the passenger side. It's green looking mixed with water not thick but dont smell like antifreeze. I was running the AC all day yesterday and went to the dealer early in the morning for an inspection it pass but now notice this leak. All gauges are okay and its not running hot. Cant tell the problem is.

2001 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer i have 59766 miles on it. Just came from downstairs the antifreeze that i put this morning still in the tank but still have a puddle under the same area. Looks like nothing in the radiator but there's little in there.

If the coolant shut-off valve for the heater core is in the same place as my '02 and '04 (right side close to firewall, has vacuum lines and heater hoses tied into it), that might be your problem.

Glad to hear you got 'er all taken care of. There've been lotsa horror stories in the Oil & Lube Forum in the past about problems when using these "quick-change" places; I either do it myself or have it done at the Ford dealer.
