[QUOTE="EF5.0, post: 1078207, member: 13818"] Well while completing my tune-up, I discovered a coolant leak. I can't find a definitive place where it seems to be coming from. The leak puddles right below the harmonic balancer pulley, drops coming off of the front sway bar and the wire cover right above the sway bar. The two suggestions I've had so far are the water pump or the timing cover gasket failing. I do know that the timing cover gasket is slightly leaking oil already. The only trace of coolant I can find is going up the front of the block but can't find a source. It appears to run down and channel down to the sway bar, and also down the oil pan lip towards the rear. When I had the car jacked up for the oil change it started to puddle coolant under the bell housing. I know this is a lot of information. I will post the pictures that I have when I get back to my computer. [IMG]http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l591/opelfrost/IMG_20121222_193208_918.jpg[/IMG] The top right corner where the darker area is seems to be where the biggest accumulation of gunk is from coolant moisture. This shows where is is dripping from to hit the ground, also it shows the oil pan lip with moisture running along it towards the back. [IMG]http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l591/opelfrost/IMG_20121222_193228_528.jpg[/IMG] Those are the best pictures I have right now... Thank you. [/QUOTE]
