I HAVE BEEN NOTICING COOLANT LEAKS AFTER I DID A AC DELETE AND SMOG DELETE AND IT RUNS HOTTER NOW BUT DOES NOT GET TO THE BOILING POINT. THE COOLANT SITS BEHIND THE WATER PUMP BY THE LOWER MANIFOLD SIDE. IT JUST SITS ON THE PASSENGER NOW IF IT AIN'T THE HOSES WHAT ELSE CAN IT BE I CAN NOT SEE IT WITH MY EYES ON WHERE IT IS COMING FROM.

Thermostat housing,timing cover gasket,intake gasket(unlikely). Most likely thermostat housing,check with a cooling system pressure tester if you can get one.

did you see if it is coming from the unused bolt hole in the timing chain cover. some times it won't seal properly.. if it is that spot just fill the bolt hole with rvt..

check ur upper radiator hose...mine was doing the same thing before as well
i pressure tested it and there were no leaks, but it turned out that when i changed my waterpump, i didn't tighten down the clamp as much as i should have
