Have a coolant leak somewhere under the radiator filler tank (mounted on the
passenger side fender well) but can't see where. Any ideas?

I believe the 2000 Taurus degas bottle (your filler tank) is the same as the one
used on the ~97-98 Taurus. They often crack on the bottom and leak. It's a dealer item
and I believe the part has been updated.

Sounds likely... I cannot for the life of me identify the location of the
leak. I fyou look form underneath the vehicle you just see coolant dripping
off the frame and wheelwell.

I'll pull the degas bottle and check it.
