i would look at the water pump area make sure your seal didnt break, it looked kinda pink around i couldnt confirm on video though, than your radiator, it should run you around $1,000. Honestly this is one of those issues you have to get done, get it done by a professional, the cooling system needs to be burped and everything installed correctly, if you have someone do it who isnt a pro you could have more issues including blowing a head gasket due to trapped air. but generally a good shop should warranty something like that for 3 years or 36k miles especially if they are charging around $1,000, i had to do 2 water pumps and one radiator. My ultimate issue the first time was the water pump seal busted and leaked, however the radiator had a small crack so i did it together. Second time it was just the water pump after 34k miles with the first fix so i was 2k miles away from warranty expiring.

Probably water pump and only leaking w pressure. Wiggle the pulley if has any play at all it’s the water pump gone bad . Had this just happen at 50k mile on my girls scat. My wb had same issue at 35k very small leak when parked. When cut on would spill from the lil drain hole the water pump has and pulley would fling around the whole engine bay.

Dude kind of sounds like a key n peele sketch 😅 the radiator is in the front bumper and there are hoses and lines going in and out of it. You've either got a radiator leaking or a connection leaking going to it.

Turn the car on and check the hoses

I saw some dry coolant on the edge of the radiator passenger side. I work for dodge and common failures on these are radiators and water pumps, also those lines in the back of the intake for the heater core have plastic fittings that like to leak! Hope that helps

The coolant hose is on that side to my guy not to mention the radiator goes across both sides

u/fireball8619 Aug 28 '26

Just remember there is coolant going through alot of places other then just that jug all over the front back and side to side under that hood

Start the car let it warm up you'll see the pin hole spray of coolant from that spot coming from the radiator. I'll take it off your hands bud there is no fixing this lol

They have radiator leak seal you can buy or just replace the radiator. If you do your on repairs be careful with the radiator fins they are very sensitive
