my car has a coolant leak and we couldn't find it so w brought it to a repair shop and it took them two days when he called back he said it looked like it was coming from the head. i had a timing chain installed on my car three years ago and i beleive the changed the head gasket. also my car has never run hot. What other problem could it be i still think the repair person is unsure.

Hi:
It's really hard for me to guess without looking. Many things could leak coolant, hoses, water pump, radiator, head gasket...

How did they determine it was the head gasket? Did they use a dye? If not, you may want to recommend they try that to be sure.

Let me know what you find.
