great. a leak

[PaleBlue90]

so i leave school to go home. stop to get gas and a pepsi. come out and i got a small puddle. i look under its comeing from the motor....its coolent.

i thought my freeze plug blew out again. nope! its fine. crawl under and look around with a flash light. the leak seems to be comeing from somewere on the right side of the motor..

theres a seam thats by the exaust and were the oil filter is. its real gross so im going to wash it off. could it possibley be a cracked head? i have no coolent in the oil.

Remember the fan forces coolant backwards down the engine. Cracks that allow coolant to go OUTSIDE the engine must be rare...I've never heard of one. Sometimes a head bolt gives way and coolant SEEPS out of the gasket area. But a puddle should be easy to find the source.

Could be a heater hose, water pump or even the radiator itself. Ys gotta look closely.

Dude! It ain't like it is as big as a football field.. It is within a three foot area! I have five daughters...any one of which could find a leak in a three foot area!
LOOK for the damn thing.. Don't come away until you have it!

LOL JIM. Are you 100% sure its coolant. The A/C drips condensation right where your referring too.

Check your timing chain cover, the gasket gives out and coolant leaks down the motor and the fan blows it all over the motor.
