coolant leak Options

[codybellenbaum]

So i finally found the region where im leaking coolant, but it doesnt make sense because there arent any hoses around there. after driving 5 miles down the free way at 70 i stopped and saw that there was alot of water being sprayed under the battery around onto the driverside wheel well. the only thing that i see involved with the cooling system around there is the radiator reservoir.. i dont see any cracks though and it holds water. does any pressure go into it? what could be leaking in that area? 1996 2.2 L

You might have an internal leak. You mentioned that the water is being sprayed on the side and under the battery. If you haven't noticed, the coolant reservoir has a hole on the neck, I assume that the water was going out there. The head gasket may be going out or a hole on the block that the exhaust gases is pushed into the water jackets then to the cooling system then to the radiator then the extra water/pressure goes into the reservoir and overflows.
