    Water leaking, coolant light on..WTF

    I just pulled my baby out of storage..

    1986 325 with 66000 miles..

    I changed the oil, and fluids, did a general tune up and she started right up..

    My problem now is I have a lot of water pooling up inside the drivers side in the engine compartment, the coolant light indicator is on, and I have water dripping by the drivers side front fender..

    Any ideas?? My coolant level isn't dropping at all, and it wasn't water anyway.. Help?

    thanks

    So umm is what is in your cooling system is it water or coolant?

    The coolant level in your overflow tank is normal you say?

    24 year old coolant level sensors are pieces of shit and aren't as accurate as your eyes.

      The coolant level is full, and not leaking any antifreeze..

      Its just water that is coming from some where..

          Water dripping from the engine bay has to be windshield washer fluid or coolant.
          The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

            if its coolant coloured its coolant. if its water its washer fluid.

            if your coolant is water coloured then you need to flush it out.
