New to the site

Hi All.

I'm a new Caddy owner, and new to this site. I bought a 1996 Deville a few weeks ago, with only 33K miles on it. It's a beautiful car, and I really like it. I've been searching topics, and reading a lot on here to learn more about my car. My biggest concern is the coolant leak that I have. It looked like it was coming from the tank's overflow hose. There was always a spot in the garage under where the hose is, and I get the "check coolant level" about once per week. I bought a new cap hoping that would fix it, but it didn't. By the way, it doesn't overheat. The other day, I got under the car, and can now see that it's not coming from the hose at all. It's actually dripping off the engine between it and the passenger side firewall, but I can't tell exactly where.

My question is, if it turns out not to be the water pump, does anyone here have any experience with Amsoil's antifreeze? Here is a quote from their site - "Stops Leaks - AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant adheres to metal. It self-seals hairline cracks in welds and seams to prevent leaks, without additional stop-leak products or fibrous materials."

I know a lot of people recommend using the tabs, but I'm just not a big fan of Bar's Leak.

Last year, I used SteelSeal on a '93 Lincoln and was impressed with it. I had antifreeze in the oil, and was blowing a lot of water out the exhaust. After using SteelSeal, that car still runs good to this day. I e-mailed them, and they replied saying that it would work on my Deville, only to use regular antifreeze with it, and after the leak stops, flush the engine and install the Dexcool back in it.

Sorry this is so long. Any comments are appreciated.
