Recently made a 800 mile moving trip and had too pull a trailer that weighed close too the weight of the car... anyways cracked the radiator going over the grape vine into Los angeles and my car shot to overheated and before i had time to react, it shut off and i was able to pull off on an exit luckily. the heat pretty much fried my spark plug wires.. replaced the radiator and did a full tune up to get it back up and running good again. so now it runs but somewhere there is a fast leak. spent all day looking in every nook and cranny of the engine department and finally i found a possible culprit.. i removed everything in the way of the extra coolant reservoir to see if that was leaking. i didnt see any cracks in it but the wall of the fender was covered in stains where it looked like water had been sprayed but dried by the engine heat and in the front of the wheel well there was a puddle of water. does that reservoir hold any pressure? and are there any other hoses running along the driver side fender/ wheel well?

On mine. I had a coolant leak on the hose that goes from the throttle body to the engine coolant inlet. I checked all hoses except that one because I forgot we even had coolant run through our throttle body. Lol.
