I think I have a leak in my radiator because water came pouring out from under my car mazda 6s 2002. The only thing is when I opened my coolant cap it was still full. What could be the problem?

2Can you tell from the liquid on the ground if it was antifreeze? Any evidence of steam? Any chance it was windshield solvent or from a/c condensation.– mikesOct 15, 2013 at 23:53

Did you check when the Engine was hot or after allowing it to cool for sometime ?– user3844Oct 16, 2013 at 14:52

2Did you check the radiator itself, or the overflow tank? If you lost coolant through a leak, the overflow would not be a good indicator of the level. You would need to check the pressurized system--after it's cooled off and no longer pressurized!– NickOct 16, 2013 at 15:17

Was the A/C running prior to this? It could be condensation from the A/C. Coolant tends to be pretty green and smelly so you'd have little trouble mistaking it for water.
The other option, as mentioned by mikes, is that you have a hole in your windshield cleaner bottle.
