1987 Tbird coolant leak

Apr 13, 2005 4 Replies

Hi,



I have a 1987 Tbird, 3.8L V6. It's leaking anti-freeze(in steam form) near/around the timing chain cover under pressure with a pressure tester. It drips out when cooling down in driveway, but can't trace from drip. There is no water in the oil. Waterpump was changed a few years ago and doesn't appear to be leaking.



Any ideas? Thanks, Doug


yup your pos needs a timing chain cover cost ya more than the water pump did hurc ast

you have a collant leak timing cover wouldnt cause this or stop it. try "bar stop leak " or a product like it but water pump could be going bad again especially if it was a remanifactured product

"Bar's Stop Leak" GOD NOOOOOO!!!!!!! Thats like cancer for your cooling system, I would use oatmeal before that crap.

cooling

Only because you can't buy Bar's with foodstamps and you can buy oatmeal.
