Re: Just checked overflow - same level Posted by bobc [Email] (#473) [Profile/Gallery] (more from bobc) on Fri, 11 Sep 2015 12:54:15 In Reply to: Just checked overflow - same level, Blake, Fri, 11 Sep 2015 07:50:12 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Leak on the passenger side suggests that the water pump itself or the plumbing to/from the water pump. Also on that side is the lower rad hose.
a common cause for a slow leak is the heater bypass valve, but that is in the center of the engine compartment on the firewall. It usually drips on the exhaust. Still its worth checking ....
of course at that age I'd consider replacing all hoses and the bypass valve, whether they are the source of the leak or not.
BTW if the bypass valve is leaking slowly now, keep in mind that the leak rate *will* increase, and will do so in short order.
