Been outta town and gotta low coolant message. She took a whole jug!!! Got to looking and found it leaking about a foot in from the inside of the passengers side tire. Looks like its leaking through a lower gasket. She was supposed to have had the head gaskets fixed and the motor resealed.
Any help would be great. trying to get these pictures posted. Its a 1997 Deville sorry

About a foot from the pass wheel is the coolant pipes running to the water crossover. It is not uncommon for those to rust through. Replacement can be a huge pain. Not sure on any gaskets back there otherwise, even if it was the heads, those rarely if ever leak externally. If it does, you probably have bigger problems.

I made a pressure tester with about 2 feet of transmission fluid hose cut it put it on to a T intersection bought two only need one valve stem cut the valve stem in a manner where I can living in the end of the transmission hose and a few hose clamps to clamp it all down I took off the purge line hose going to the reservoir put this in it's place and used my air compressor and blew it up to 1518 pounds you have to have a dial on your air compressor to know how much pressure you're putting in.
