my car is leaking water. looking from in front of the car the water is coming out of the bottom on the left side, but there are no water hoses on that side. i was told that my block is either cracked or its a freeze plug problem. i can drive for about an hour or so and then the temp light comes on and i have to pour in about a pitcher of water.. help?

Water pump is on the left side. The water is dripping down under the pulleys probably.
Gotta get in there to look. Proabably need to take the car off the mounts and jack the motor up so you can get in there. You might just be able to remove the airbox and view the leak if you get lucky.

I had water leaking from the left side after replacing the water pump only to find out it was the crack pipe.
