help! coolant leak
i just bought a 94 ranger 2.3...well it wasnt warming up quite right so i decided to change the thermostat, and the hoses...well the lower hose i decided to leave alone....and i changed the thermostat and upper hose, as well as a heater hose....well now the thing is leaking antifreeze like crazy....its not coming from the thermostat housing or the upper hose....i looked under neath and it was coming from above the crankshaft pulley....well i just dont understand ...it did not leak a drop before i took it in the garage.....well any help would be appreciated...

You need to try to pin point the source as best you can. The only connections around there are the 2 heater hoses and the upper rad hose. Are you sure you have the t-stat in correctly? Also is the water comming out of the weep hole from the water pump? Pumps can leak when they start to go bad.
