Other than hoses that may have burst, the 3.0 engine some times develops a leak from the timing chain cover. This involves removing the driver belt, pulleys, coolant tank, harmonic balancer, water pump, alternator, and cleaning the gasket surfaces. Repair shops may charge from four to six hundred dollars. You can do it yourself, but plan on a couple days to complete it. The location is this: The water pump is connected to the timing chain cover. Your water pump is facing the passenger side of the car. Stand on that side of the car and look for a black hose going into the engine block. That hose sends coolant through the engine, and your water pump is located there. Three water pump jacket and timing chain cover, look like one unit but they are bolted together. Your timing chain is back of that. Your leak is coming from the left side of the cover. You won't be able to see I it because of all the stuff blocking your view... But it's there.
