i will tonight after work try to lift the car and take a better look under .. or should i start it let it warm up and see where it leaks from. i do not want to damage it more so please advice to the best course of action
Does the car have A/C? Most likely would be the heater control valve that screws into the rear passenger side corner of the intake manifold, almost directly above the oil filter. I just finished replacing the one on my 307 this afternoon. Failing that, look for heater hose leaks, and failing THAT, look for a rusted freeze plug.
