[Shotimes] White Smoke ( '95 ATX )

[chris ratcliff]

For the past couple of days I have noticed some puffs of white smoke coming from under the passenger side of the hood and wheelwell while the car is stopped. It only happens when the engine is at normal operating temperatures. It is definitely coolant because of the smell and color. I first suspected coolant leaking from the weep hole in the water pump, but nothing looks wet. I have been leaking small amounts of coolant on the ground for some time now, which I hear is a common problem, so I keep a close eye on the coolant level. Since the smoking started I have noticed the engine running a little warmer than I recall in the past. Should I try a radiator flush and some of that coolant "leak stopper"?  Has anyone had a similar problem, or any suggestions? Thanks a million.
