Need Help, Please.. Antifreeze leaking like a siv.

[Peter Haugen]

Hi ya'll . New to the site and ya'll looked like you had the best advice i could find on the internet.

I have a 1995 Ford Explorer. 4.0 Liter

I don't know much about automobiles and I will never pretend i Do so I am going to try to give you as much information as I can.


Heres the symptoms.

When i fill the antifreeze, I don't have any leaks. it doesn't start until i start the engine, but there is a pin size hole about the size of a #2 pencil lead actually in the back of the engine more towards the passenger side. i don't know if there is supposed to be a bolt or torc bolt or something there. If i wedge my hand back there i can cover this hole with my finger and there isn't much pressure on it at all. It stops leaking. But othewise it sprays out of this little hole.

Please help if possible. My wife and I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Please if you need any more information ask away and I'll try to answer the best I can. Im sorry i don't know auto parts or what they are called usually i try to fix the easy things but when it gets difficult i bring it in. Just not really mechanically inclined.

Thanks guys and gals...

You could clean and dry the area with brake parts cleaner, and then fill the hole with JB Quik. That would probably seal off the leak.

I recommend you take a picture so we know exactly what hole you a referring too.
