LCaballero · **contributions:** 1

Just bought a 1999 buick regal 3800 it leaks coolant when first start, under engine
not sure sure if is coming from the recovery tank or water pump. Not overheating yet.
What can I do to check?

Best way to check is to use a pressure tester. This will pressurize the system then you can use a light and mirror to find the leak.

If you do not have access to these, a mirror at least to put it under the water pump pulley and look for a leak. Or look for orange corrosion.

Check behind the alternator, above the water pump. Often there are undetected leaks in the necks there that a ton of people don't even know exist. Invest in a good thick book on your car. A Chassis manual is usually about $10 on eBay, but worth so much more in my opinion.
