Re: '94 Boid: Mystery coolant leak
LX V8 (4.6L), 61k mi.
Some time ago, I spot a puddle of coolant dripped from the plastic pan/cover under the radiator. Has recurred several times. Drips from the pan to the left of center of motor when facing front of car. The left 2+ feet of the inside of the pan is wet.
The ice finally melted, I get a chance to crawl around on the conny-crete to see if I can find the source of the leak. Coolant reservoir is about a pint lo.
The upper hose is fine. There is no evidence of coolant under the weep hole in the water pump. It's a bitch to get to, but I'm 90+% sure the lower hose is not leaking. It's way over on the right anyway, and I didn't see any coolant in the pan under the hose.
So I'm shuffling thru my silly goose Haynes manual, trying to find what else to check. What I see under the hood, of course, doesn't much match what I see in the manual. Visability around the bottom of the radiator is kinda like trying to see whilst immersed in a cauldron of india ink.
It's gotta 4r70w tranny. Are there lines to the rad. to cool the fluid?
Any other ideas about where to check for a leak?
TIA, Puddin'
