Water Pump?
My sister's 92 3.1 V6 RS is leaking a lot of antifreeze. Over the Thanksgiving weekend I checked it out and it looked like the lower radiator hose was shot. I replaced the hose and it appeared to solve the problem. The next day I come out and there is another huge puddle of antifreeze under the car. I would fill it up and let the car run for about 10-15 minutes and I don't see any leaking. Any ideas on what it could be?
It doesn't look like its in the area of the radiator but more below the engine. |
could be the water pump these have weep holes in them. When the seal goes is escapes from the weep hole( the weep hole helps prevent premature bearing wear during a leak)

Thanks for the reply. I am really hoping it is the waterpump. The job doesn't look that bad and Strauss only wanted like $25 for the pump.

Nah, it is easy. You should be able to see the antifreeze trail coming from the hole from underneath.

get a radiator presure tester
