New puddle under the old MB and I am Befuddled
 
The old girl leaks,(300SD) thats OK she is 20 years old. However today I noticed a new puddle and it has me confused. The puddle is radiator fluid but the location under the car is far back by the transmission housing, where you would expect ATF (I do have that puddle as well but I know its ATF and I know where it is coming from), but antifreeze there has me ...well... befuddled.
Can anyone help me out
MP and Benzie 84 300SD

They will do that, since it is cold out mine has been leaking coolant like crazy. I have finaly tightened all those $%^& leaking hoses.

On my SDL at least I have to pop up the ABS computer and then I can look between the fire walls at the maze of heater hoses back their. A good flashlight and long flat blade screwdriver is all you need.

A leaking monovalve, aux water pump or associated hoses would do it. Aim a powerful flashlight in that space just ahead of the windshield and have a gander.

My Aluminum Body ACC servo is doing that from the little gasket on the bottom most piece.....I just havent gotten motivated enough to pull it and make a new gasket for that part.

Found the issue, a leaking thermo valve to the windshield heater. Did not even know I had one!
