Is it towards the front of the moter or the rear. Check all connections. How new are the hoses, check for splits. Check heater box on the firewall. Any extra info would be a help.

Shaunt,

Welcome to the site!
After you check the above items, read through this and see if this may be the leak's origin:

Very common issue withthis year and motor. May have nothing to do with running hot though.

As for overheating, please tell us more details, like what temperatures, idle or cruising, etc. A/C or not? Make sure your fan shroud is all there and fan clutch works.
