Run a pressure test on it.
from the water pump tell tale hole
Coolant leaking from back? meaning exaust? If yes, then it's a head gasket or cracked head. Will not start because 2 or more sparkplugs are now wet with coolant.
do a coolant pressure test.
If there is coolant coming from it and it isn't a hose.
You should able to tell if it's leaking so I assume that you are not seeing any coolant where you park so it's a good chance you got a blown head gasket and the coolant is leaking in your cylinders and being burned off or leaking into your oil. Check your oil after running and if it is foamy it has coolant in it.
you can just tell her that she can trust you and if its something about the relationship tell her you wont get emotional and she might tell you whats wrong
Water pump shaft loose? Water pump leaking? Water circulating in coolant system?
Obviously, there is a leak somewhere. It's possible that it is the gasket leaking, and sorry to tell you that it will be pretty expensive to replace. Without more details of the leaking, I can't tell you much more. When mine was leaking, I was able to get it fixed under warranty. I hope you are as lucky.
I doubt the cylinder wall would be leaking coolant. More likely the head gasket is bad or the head is cracked. When the engine is warmed up and running, a white sweet smelling smoke will come out of the exhaust. The white smoke is a tell-tale sign of an internal coolant leak.
Try to find out where it's coming from. Often coolant will leak down the front of the water pump, under the pulley. Even if you don't see the coolant, look for the mineral trace of the water. By the time you notice a leaky water pump it has usually been leaking for a while and has left a noticeable trail. If you don't notice coolant leaking there, check other places, freeze plugs, the sides of the radiator, radiator and heater hoses... Again, the coolant and water minerals typically leave a nice bright trace to tell you where it's leaking. If the radiator is leaking, don't try to fix it yourself and certainly don't put stop leak or any other chemicals in it. Either replace the radiator or take it to a radiator shop and have THEM repair it properly.
well tell me whats wrong first and ill help u :-)
Nobody can tell you unless you provide information.
