Hello, I've got myself a problem here. I've got coolant leaking from the
side of the engine where the belts are I think. The coolant collects around
the oil pan and drips down. I put some radiator, block stop leak stuff on
it and it seemed to have halted most of the leaking.
I was wondering what is the cause of the leak? The waterpump has been
replaced a month ago. The mechanic says it's not the waterpump (although he
may be saying that to cover his ass) It only seemed to start leaking after a
long trip. The leak stops after I let the car sit for a while.
Anybody familiar with this? Mechanic thinks it's the timing chain cover
thingy being worn out by the timing chain.
