I have an older s185 that has been leaking coolant for several months now. I've changed the water pump housing, gasket, and thermostat back in March but didn't help. I checked the heater and hoses last night but they are dry. I put a gallon in 2 days ago and have not run it at all and there is a puddle under it about 6" diameter. Also checked the big hose and tube behind engine and hose from radiator to coolant tank. Everything seems dry but there is definitely coolant in the bottom of the left side of the machine if you lift up the cab. Any ideas where it could be leaking?

There is a chance that your head gasket could be leaking coolant.
You could try and stuff rags or put in plastic above the engine to see if you can determine if the coolant is coming from above the engine or not.
Also, if you remove the coolant tank cap the leak may be more obvious since removing the cap will eliminate any suction.
