Hey all

I got home today after a 20 mile or so drive and had an urge to just look under the hood...well to my befuddlement, I noticed that my coolant reservoir level was just under FULL COLD! I looked for drips underneath the car and found a nice half-dollar sized pool of sweet tasting coolant. Coolant was dripping off of the lower crankcase pulley.

My problem is that I cannot pin-point the source of the leak. Could it be the water pump pulley bushing?

Thanks guys!

Yeah it could be the water pump. They have weep holes that the coolant will come out of when they need replaced.

 

yea it was the pump -- put on a new one last week. Runs a lot better. Although, I do notice it running a tad hotter -- gauge reads 205 most times between coolant cycles...

 

Well I don't know what the car runs normal but here in AZ its been getting pretty warm, my car runs a little warmer the hotter it gets.
