Coolant Leak
I have a 97 bonneville ssei with 170000 on it. I've got a coolant leak that I haven't had a chance to inspect. My heater core is ok. The hoses are new. The radiator is new as well. The coolant reservoir and radiator cap are ok. As well as the thermostat. It'* dripping around the engine block somewhere. Not a real rapid leak. Its not spraying as far as I can tell. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Could be a leak between the lower intake manifold and the cylinder heads.
Do you know when the last time the intake gaskets have been changed??
Now is the time to check your oil level.

Park your car over a clean piece of cardboard to try to narrow down where the water leak is coming from. Could be the water pump as well.

Alright. Thanks for the suggestions guys. I figured out where the leak was. The water pump gasket. Is bad. No coolant in the oil and what not. Thankfully! Again, I appreciate all the input
