Radiator coolant leak

I have a 95 gt and the coolant is slowly leaking. How do I fix this?

Check for cracks first and how bad they are.

Water pump could be leaking from the weep hole

are you sure that your not puking extra out of the coolant reservoir. it could be so many things. maybe your cap pressure sucks. maybe your braze beads are old and leaking. Take it in and pressurize it if you can not find the leak while it is hot.

I can't find any cracks. I had to fill once cuz the low coolant light came on this month so it's not an over flow

Barr's stop leak. Go find it at your parts store. If you've got a small leak, it'll stop the leak.

I've had a couple of small leaks I couldn't find, and that solved the issue.

I guess it's a thermometer gasket? Or temperature gasket? Can't remember what it was called and still learning. Either way there is no coolant in the oil yet. Anyone know how hard it is to replace this?

Turned out it was the timing chain cover gasket. Small at first then blew. Had to replace 2 radiator hose as well. 10 hours and $50 later no leak
