Default 1999 Leaking Green Liquid

HI!

I'm sure people have asked this question again and again, but I really need any help I can get. So please bare with me-

My car is leaking some green liquid and I don't know what it is. It's not leaking horribly, but enough so that I can make out the color on the white snow. My car haven't been smelling great either. It always smells like oil's leaking or like something's burning.

Oh yeah. I have a 99 toyota camry and we did have to fix the water pump awhile back (probably 2 1/2 years ago).

Help please?

~Rae

Anti-freeze. You have a leak in the cooling system somewhere. Check your coolant level.

Use a strong light to check all radiator and heater hoses, radiator and coolant overflow tank for leaking. With engine cold you can feel the hoses for signs of coolant.

The radiator top and bottom are plastic and can crack/leak.

If it's green it has to be the coolant leaking. It might be a cracked radiator or a cracked hosed. If you need to replace the radiator it's a pretty simple job to do it just takes a little time to squeeze the new radiator in between the fans and the mounts.
