Coolant leak?!

Help?!?! My car overheated yesterday so I waited for car to cool down for couple of hours. Then I started engine and left it in idle and poured coolant straight into the coolant. There wasn't any leaks while the engine was running but soon as I turned off the engine after leaving it idle for couple minutes I seen coolant leaking under the engine. Can somebody let me know all the reasons why ts leaking be how to fix it?! Taking it to the mechanics means my wallets gonna get raped

Best buy a spanner set and get to it yourself then!  The first things to do are as above from Nizmo man and 89 CAL.  Use a 10mm socket and take the stone tray off, wipe the motor down and start the car and and have a good look.  Check the hoses and hose clamps, etc.  If its a water pump then may as well do the timing belt and pulleys while you are at it.

    • Good to see your rotors appear as rusty as mine 🤪
    • Took it for a drive to do some logs, I’m pretty sure my voltage issues and electrical noise issues are gone, I’ve sent a log to Adam and am waiting to hear back with confirmation  att.K23U9eHyiEJxixH6y1__GQfuqK0EgIoDgQFTs9G8x_w.mp4   idle video from that day just because 
    • Went looking at mine, reading off the tyre, presumably these are 1st week of 2003. Still hold air (I haven't had to pump them up in over 12 months!)     I couldn't quickly find the date on the front tyres, they were fitted around 2008 to the rims, so probably not quite as old, but they have a lot more dry rot cracks in them. Still hold air.
    • I am now intrigued to go check the dates on the tyres on my Skyline... We need a game of who has the oldest tyre still holding a car up, and successfully holding air (for longer than a 2 weeks I feel is successful air holding).   I feel your tyres may be beating mine
    • Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springs  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me
