I noticed I was losing a very small amount of AF, and went investigating. I see a small leak of the stuff right around the front pulley/ harmonic area. Any ideas whats going on? What do I need to do?



I have a 96 F150, 5.8

Water pump,there is a weap hole on the underside of the water pump and when the seals fail it leaks out this hole.

Sounds to me like (knowing absolutely nothing about that engine) that you need a water pump.

Yep classic sign of early pump failure.
