long story short had a coolant leak last night pin pointed two areas.
upper outlet port clamp was loose cause a spray..
but the second leak is where iam beating my head ..
its steady stream behind the crank pulley/ oil pan seam.
i sprayed degreaser all over the front accessory area to get the coolant off got most of it off. but could not locate a wet source or a area where it could be leaking from
the water pump weep hole is is dry, the cover to the right seems to be dry
any ideas the areas around the pump seem dry unless im missing an angle

yes i ran the car for several minutes looking for it with a LED drop light from above and below

THOUGHTS..


sor far im down $200 ( bought a radiator but i will return it)

one way of locating hard to find leaks is adding a ultra violet dye to your coolant and use a black light to highlight where it's leaking from. I know they use this method at some shops.

I found it once I pulled the water pump pulley off it was at the lower weep hole steady stream with pressure going thru the system.
