I have a 2003 dodge stratus r/t with the 2.7 dohc motor. we just noticed in the last two days that it started leaking antifreeze. Its not over heating. There is no water in the oil. All the hosed look good. I tore it apart to get to the water pump and I don't see where the water pump would be leaking inside the motor since it is an internal water pump. Does anybody have any suggestions?

I have a 2001 es with the 2.7L. There is an antifreeze leak in my car as well when it warms up. The thermostat cover has a plastic plate on it that the temp sensor goes into. the plastic is cracked and antifreeze bubbles out between the parts. It is not a serviceable part no gaskets to change or anything. Had to get the part from a dealership. It's not hard to change out but the part ran me about $110. Just noticed it bubbling around the plastic one day the hood was up and the car was warmed up.
Hope that helps.
