Identify this coolant leak

[mnturbo]

I have a pretty disturbing leak from the drivers side of the engine

what is this this and what is causing this???

Please help me

We'd need real pictures -stuff large enough to put a stamp on, in case we have to mail them- but from the driver's side the inevitable answer is water pump.

Do the belts at the same time.

or the front case to waterpipe seal.. though to fixit right you might as well do the water pump and belts too... please note the water is coming from ABOVE those pics... you can see that it is trickling down.

To reiterate, the coolant isn't leaking from your oil pan. Look at/around your water pump, and rad hose. Let us know the progress.

I cleaned up the whole area and the leak is super slow with the car on of off.
It looks like it's comming from right above the releif plug on the oil filter bracket.
Any thought on this???

IMO it's your POS Oil to Water Cooler Coolant Line.

 

[mnturbo]

well that line definetly needs to be replaced but I played with the car all day today and that line didn't leak at all

I would suspect a hardened O-ring from the water pipe to waterpump. .27 cents and an hour in time. If thats what it is. I filled mine with water and squeezed the shit out of the lines forever til I seen it seeping out.

yeah I blew mine out when I had a bad rad cap that did not open after i shut if the car...

look inbetween the turbo and the front of the block and follow that water pipe with your eyes... If you get LOW on the radiator you can see where it is o ring'd ...
