I have a 1990 XJ w/the 4.0; 192K miles and have noticed a coolant leak that appears to be coming from somewhere behind the exhaust manifold. I can see several "freeze plugs"(machining plugs,etc.) below the exhaust manifold but the leak is coming from above these. It looks like kind of a "pissing" stream with the engine on. Engine does not seem to have lost any power or running any differently. Head gasket? 'freeze plug' I can't see? something else?
Any thoughts? & How much to fix at a shop.?? I might be tempted to look, but not with winter rapidly approaching in Chicago... Thanks, Tom
