Again, it took several mechanics to figure out why the coolant was leaking out almost immediately. After replacing a bunch of things that likely didn't need to be replaced, a mechanic identified the coolant pump as the likely culprit, and we replaced it, as well as another pipe that had deteriorated altogether because of the leak. This stopped the leak.
