In order to properly diagnose a water leak issue, it is necessary for the cooling sytem to be pressurized. Your mechanic should have a special tool that he connects to your radiator that will pump the cooling system with air. This increased pressure will force the coolant out of any leak the system may have.

How do you report a water leak?
there cannot be a water leak in a car! duh... Actually In one of my driving school cars, I kept a Thomas guide map book on the passenger side floor in the back seat. For about a week I noticed the book was always wet, I thought my water bottle was leaking on it, but it continued with no water bottle in the vehicle.
