‘01 Tahoe, 207K miles - The low coolant light came on so I let it sit while I ran and got some. Came back to this leak. No check engine light and no overheating. Any ideas what to check first?

Maybe one of the lines from the radiator to the rear hvac unit. The puddle in the photo does look a little far back to be water pump or any fitting up front.

yep it's mostly on the right side which is where the t-connectors are for the heater core and rear heat on the firewall

Checked my heater hose fittings and they’re good. What should I check next? Thanks for the help so far.

A leak that bad is probably a hose, get under there with a flashlight and take a good look sometimes the hose will only leak under pressure, take it for a spin then get under it right away after

It's hard to see, but look at the block right under your water pump. Common for the gaskets to start leaking or the pump itself to start weeping. Just did a water pump and ac compressor replacement in our '03 z71. Started as a slow leak, progressively got worse and would only leak once shut off and cooled down a bit.

My 97 Yukon is doing the same thing but only when I'm park on an incline which happens to be my driveway.
