Wash engine to make it fairly clean. After your first drive, park it on a level surface. Look carefully to see where coolant is seen. If you see fluid anywhere on the front of the engine check carefully around the water pump. Many times the pump will leak and drip into the belts and pulleys, making the leak hard to trace. Check oil to see if water is mixed in with it. If you have been overheating you may have a blown head gasket.
