to the forum!

Where is it leaking? A lot, a little?

Common problems are the coolant elbows, and the water pump gasket.

Welcome to mcf!! The coolant elbows just under the alternator on the belt tensioner assembly are known to crack and leak. If it is the coolant elbows get aluminum replacements.

Welcome to the forum!

I bet it is your windshield weatherstripping not sealing. My pickup had tons of water dripping in when it rained, headliner is all stained from it. Turned out the metal frame work was corroded in such a way the weatherstrip would not seal. We packed in a couple tubes of their sealant when I had a new windshield put in, and now no more leaks.

A windshield replacement shop can take an air hose and blow it along the seal, if they can hear air leaking (blowing into the cabin) then you do have a problem. Would be better to pop the window and seal everything before any real corrosion can get going.
