Subject: [Shotimes] White Smoke ( '95 ATX )

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.
