Maintenance/Repairs

2002 dodge grand caravan. We feel the heat from engine block inside the two front seats (driver and front passenger). We also feel heated wind (blowing strong) and smell coolant when standing outside the vehicle by the driver and front passenger door with the engine idling.

There’s visual small leak (about a handful) once the vehicle is parked. I wonder where the leak is (not on radiator and the radiator coolant level remains full). I bought Preston Radiator Complete Care and Stop Leaks. I haven’t put it in yet, just wonder if this will work. Anyone knows where the leaks might be and anyone ever use the product I bought to give me some recommendation? btw, I had new radiator cap installed last couple weeks.thanks.
