Coolant leak need help
I need serious help. When backing out the driveway this morning noticed a wet spot. Soon as I got home from work the same, a fresh small wet spot. Just got under there with my light & it's all wet by the power steering pump & all over. It definitely is coolant. I tried to look from the top but no coolant anywhere. It's not the radiator, radiator hoses, or thermostat housing so far. How do I check if it's the water pump I can't even see in there? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Everything from up top is dry. Only to you get under like night & day. Maybe the incline driveway is making it drip off the power steering pump like that? You think its better if I pull it in the garage on flat ground and redo the test?

Thanks Benny. Im going to get out there in a little bit & pressurize it on level ground to see if it drips from another location. I can't think of anything else in that area other than the pump.

i wouldn't think so unless the shroud that covers the waterpump is removed...i could be wrong tho. it would depend on how much it is leaking
