coolant leak on passenger side

I need some help again to find out what my issue is. Driving today, I noticed my check engine light turn on. Like usual, I ignored it because turns off later on, some loose sensors or something. However, this time, I felt my car jump or kick twice for a second while driving. It would happen when I slowed down and pressed the gas to speed up, normally. so I got to my campus, popped the hood, and saw coolant all over my passenger side. checked my hoses real quick and didn't see anything wrong. however, I did look at them quickly and not thoroughly. To help out a bit, I replaced my water pump last month. it cant be a water pump issue bc that would be leaking on the driver side. Also, my temperature levels did not go up at all while driving. Could my problem just be some loose or cracked hoses or worst case a head gasket? thanks and God Bless.

Re: coolant leak on passenger side

Check the coolant level in the radiator and reservoir (plastic bottle right next to the battery). I suspect you'll find it's low in the radiator and way overfilled in the reservoir, bad head gasket.
