1996 Pontiac Grand Am 2.4l Engine Dripping Coolant.
It is dripping coolant very slowly but only when the car sits over night. The car does not overheat. It looks like it is dripping from the driver side a few feet back from the front of the car. It is hard to tell where it's coming from. Has a new water pump.
