Title: Leak
Post by: Captain Chaos on 06 December 2010, 20:33:53

Hi I,m looking for suggestions/direction please. Short journey to visit in laws ( 4 miles ) and on the way back temp gauge indicated running above normal. Checked and coolant low so topped up however as I'm topping up it is leaking out not sure from where but I can see water at front of the engine dripping down central lower front.   :(

Otherwise running fine ? 3.0 V6 Est auto 98S  :-?

Water pump ? or somwhere in the V of the engine (coolant bridge ?) running from the valley and down the front ? :-/

I would agree, it sounds suspiciously like the water pump.

See if you can pinpoint more accurately where it's dripping from.

Also,  I hope you're using an antifreeze solution to top it up. You don't want to take any chances in these weather conditions.    :y
