2001 Yukon XL Coolant/Heat Problem

[JSLayton]

OK, finally got a chance to take a look at it. I wait a couple of days to let it dry out and I topped it off with water and crawled under to see what I could find out. The picture that I posted is the front of the engine basically directly in the middle of the car. The only place that I could see it actively dripping was where I circled in red in the photo. Thoughts??

Have you tried to look at it with the engine on and up to operating temp? It's most probably leaking from somewhere up above and dripping down to that spot. If it's not spaying all over the place, can you trace the leak. Difficult to see the start of the leak when you're looking at the end.

I agree, fill it up and run the vehicle to see where it's really leaking from. Just don't let it all leak out and overheat.

Were you able to fix your issue? I just noticed today that I am having the same issue. All my coolant drained overnight. Mine seems to dripping from the mid area of the engine.

The leak is coming from the Water Pump. Thank you so much guys. Now should I worry about what brand to replace the Water Pump? I see several brands on eBay. Your advice is greatly appreciated! Much Thanks!

NAPA or A/C Delco.. autozone is not one I would use.
