2001 XC70 has been running okay with 188,000 miles. After driving it around town 4 or 5 miles, I parked and within 5 minutes I noticed radiator fluid leaking under the car. It's hitting the pan and spilling in the middle. No signs of leaks coming from any of the hoses looking into the engine. So the leak is coming from somewhere above that pan.
Suggestions?
Thanks

Pull the splash shield and inspect. At that age the radiator is a prime suspect.

Thanks Scopeman,
I had the entire coolant system replaced a couple of years ago. Will get it to the mechanic to check it out.
Possible heater core hoses?

[nonono] ... I hope for your sake it's just a hose. I've replaced my radiator twice on my 05XC ... the very best of luck to you.
