Coolant system question

[rapieper at yahoo.com (Ron Pieper)]

I'd guess the water pump itself (leaking from the shaft, just above the PS pump), the water
pump-block gasket (an o-ring), the t'stat housing (o-ring) or one of the hoses to the stat or WP.

That of course describes everything that touches coolant on that side of the engine, so it may be
as much help as saying "food" when someone asks what you'd like to eat.

HTH anyway,
