I had a leak back there and it ended up being the hose that comes out of the top/back of the engine, which dripped down on the tranny & exhaust, etc. My deal was the hose that pushes coolant through to the heater core had a slow leak that finally popped. I ended up replacing all (I think four) hoses while I was at it. It was a ***** since there is almost no room to get your eyes and hands back in there. To get to it, you have to remove that little plastic cover plate back there that has allen head screws in it, then you can kind of see what I'm talking about. Just a thought, could be a number of things but that is what mine was. GL, Mike

Glad I could point you in the right direction.....took me weeks to figure out where it was coming from, then it finally popped and became obvious.
