Just saw radiator water drop by the bell housing

I just took the jeep out and on my way decided to pick up a jacket in myother car. Also I wanted to take a look at the U-Joint to see how it wasdoing as I was hearing some noises. As I look I see a drop of radiatorwater fall right out of the end of the bell housing. I watch again andanother drop falls.Then I drive it around the block and don't see it after I stop.Where could this be leaking from?Thanks,Bill

There is a freeze plug on the back of the motor. It could be coming from there.

Bill, I just had the first chance to look at my old engine sitting in my garage in the daylight, and it has been rebuilt, much to my surprise.

Mine had the cam changed as part of it's rebuild because the bottom right top side 'freeze' plug is new an has sealant on it.

See my 'what kind of cam in my 86 post'.

You had a gas washed engine and your cam looks stock still?????

For that money they didn't replace the cam bearings???????

Please say I am wrong......

Mike
