Hey TJ community! I have a pretty bad coolant leak underneath my Jeep. It seems like it's coming from the bottom of the engine, and not anywhere near the coolant tank, or the radiator. I did replace the radiator cap. I'm still pretty new to jeeps, so any suggestions would be awesome. Thanks!

A similar leak occurred on my '01 Sport 6 weeks ago while driving thru the countryside in south east San Diego county.
The pump seal would leak and then stop leaking for most of the trip home; when I went out the next morning to replace the water pump the coolant reservoir was empty and the radiator was a couple inches down.

Around $400 to refresh entire cooling system if do it yourself and buy parts through Amazon. Ask me how I know 
Links to my Amazon shopping list in my build thread if it helps. Only thing I would do diff now is buy coolant at local parts store and not buy it premixed. Basically same price unmixed so end up paying lot for 1/2 gallons of water.

Easy repair. +1 ↑ If the entire cooling system is old, don't be afraid to replace it. One shot one kill.
