Help! Hissing Noise

I have an 04 AT and when I im backing up I hear a hissing noise, it seems to be coming from the front passenger side. I also hear it intermittently while driving at higher speeds. After a drive, I also smell what seems to be coolant, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions?

Step one..............look under your car for a puddle.
Step two..............look under hood with car running and see if you can see a leak.
Step three...........check your coolant level.......be careful here, don't burn yourself.

Hissing sucks

I always hear the hissing sound too. It always when I have the A/C on and it seems to come from the passenger side. Its alwasy intermidate, it becoming really annoying. There's no puddle, new radiator, coolant fine. What else could it be?
