    coolant lead

    alright give me some common places, i dont think its comin from the head gasket, i realllllly hope it isnt. and i dont think its a hose ive been over them alot.
    could it be a lose water pump? or bad seal there?

    just give me ideas of where to look
    thanks

    i'd recommend pressure testing your system an examining the cooling system from there. look at hoses, water pump, your throttle body gasket and anywhere else for any signs of residue, seepage, or dripping. check your oil as well if you're concerned about headgasket issues. make sure your radiator cap can hold pressure as well.

    if you don't have a pressure tester i'd recommend picking one up with an adapter to fit the expansion tank, it's a very valuable tool and it's accurate diagnosis. other than that you'll just be guessing...

    hope this helps some.
