Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Our , Chrysler keeps over heating and the mechanic, is scratching his head on this one.
He's changed the thermostat, radiator cap, the water pump and radiator are just a year old and
so was the thermostat.
We do see it leaking antifreeze but from the passage side.
Any other suggestions or are we going to have to retire the beast?
