Alright just starting a week or two ago my 98 jeep cherokee started to leak large amounts of coolant...the weird thing is it only leaks after i drive it...i will drive it then turn it off then almost instantly leak a good amount of coolant then stop after about 30 seconds...the two big houses are good any ideas what it could be...

Thanks

It may only leak after building pressure. Probably a crack or split somewhere in they system. I would start by removing the radiator, and inspecting where it could have been leaking from, that is if you do not have a pressure tester.
 
Check the weep hole on the water pump. Get it up to running temp and see if it's leaking around the pump. IF this is the case your water pump is bad and needs replaced.
