Default Dodge Grand Caravan 2005 leaking

I have a 2005 Grand Caravan with 85k miles. It is leaking antifreeze, getting worse. Is this common? Anyone have heard of this?

What about using a leak stop? Any thoughts, comments?

Proper troubleshooting can go along way ... look and see if you can see where the leak is coming from ... Bad Radiator ??? Leaking hose?? off the motor ??? Bad waterpump???

Stop leak is a bandaid fix at best ... it might temporarily stop/slowdown the leak , but in the end it can cause irrepairable clogging to the radiator heater core ect ,

would you know where the water pump is located in this car? I have tried to locate the source of leak and cannot find one yet. Water pump could be very likely...but i need to know where to look.

TIA

3.3/3.8 would be passager side near the bulk head or firewall, 2.4 would be passager side near the a/c or radiator. But you should fill the cooling system with water and use cooling system pressure tester, to find your leak.
