I have a 1995 98 olds with the 3800 engine.

It has developed a very small water leak. Does not appear to be coming from
the
radiator, replaced the hoses, no help.

I only leaks after the engine has cooled down. Leak contains
antifreeze.

About a table spoonful two or three nights a week if driven
every day.

Engine has 107,000 miles.

Any ideas?

Can you see where it starts? If not how are we to help from here, pressure
test the cooling system to find any external leak.

Hmmm....no pressure leak when warm.
Have not tested it cold.
Can't see anything from my vantage....can't get under
car....about the middle of engine maybe 8 inches to the
right.
Thanks.

Feel under the water pump pulley.
