So last night i saw that i was leaking something, it is comming from the front of the car. i suspect it is coolant, but have not been able to find the source of the leak.



i will spend some time later tonight to look at it, but unless i watch my level, should i drive the car to work tomorrow? it is a 10 mile commute. this is the first time that i noticed it leaking.

^^ that, and the myriad seals involved with the thermostat housing. Lots of corrosion happening there.

Like so many have mentioned, and I recently found out myself, if that small 4" hose under the thermostat housing is leaking, try tightening the clamps first.
I've read it and read it and read it. Then I did it.........
I also just had to replace an upper radiator hose because it just wouldn't seal to the neck of the radiator. Radiator neck was fine......
