Help: Coolent Leak

[whitetrash21]

Location of coolant is hard to use for figuring out what's leaking....the fan moves enough sir down there to blow coolant everywhere. Water pump is a safe bet since 100k seems normal for them. They can be replaced in a couple hours by someone who has never done one. 2 things you will want to have, a friend to help lockup the fly wheel while you pull the balancer bolt, and a 3/4 drive breaker bar with a 36mm socket to break it loose.

1/2" isn't enough, I broke 4 of those trying to get it off as well as knocking myself out.

There's a couple threads on how to do it on here if you need help.

It could als be the coolant hoses going to an from the turbo. seen those get old and brittle and leak. they are loacated right close to the compressor housing on the turbo. never seen a water pump go bad and have coolant end up on the pass side.

Catman, yea thts why I'm kinda ruling the water pump out ima get in there and figure some stuff out ill check the back of the turbo and stuff you guys said thanks for the input ill post as soon as I figure anything out

could be the short section of hose on side of the pipe going from the pump to the t stat housing.

As others said check the coolant lines feeding the turbo they can crack and leak. Also on the back of the pass side heads there's 2 freeze plugs look there also see these in pic below and then the pic below there's a plate on the rear adapter that is known for the gasket to leak. Replace this gasket and all is will if you find it from there.

This would be your waterpump if theres coolant on the black pipe that bolts to the water pump and goes to the oil cooler.
