When I cut my car off, it seems like I hear a little hissing sound comming from the lower front part of my engine bay. I checked all the fuel lines, and nothing was amiss. I do however see the top of the plastic undercowling under the car is a little wet. Looks like I may have to upgrade to a Fluidyne Radiator from AWR Racing when I get the funds. I still have some stuff to pay off. I hope that my radiator lasts long enough.
Radiator may have a small leak..

It's worth all the learning I have done though.
I don't just think negetive about stuff just because one thing happens at one time. Nothing works perfectly. Just gotta be realistic about s***. Stuff is gonna happen. That's why the auto industry is able to keep selling automobiles.

My car makes the same noise and I thought it was a leak also but I can find nothing, I even smell coolant sometimes. I have gone as far as to replace lines and even took all plastic off and bumper to inspect. I can find no defect in the coolant system. Just a small hissing noise every now and then right after the engine shuts off and intake noise is gone. I thought it was just me. Glad I am not the only one. But now you make me wonder if it truly is something I should look into????
You might want to check the area of the radiator where the plastic sides are crimpmed onto the metal core. A lot of Mazda radiators are prone to leaking there over time. My girlfriend's old MX3 and my old RX7 both started leaking in identical places and I had to change them.
