There it is boys and girls. It does not seem to be coming from the hose elbow in the foreground but rather from up behind the oil pan, kinda?

Let me know what you guys think.

TIA!

New one on the way...

How hard is it to change out?
It's looking like the headers come off, drain coolent, replumb... Is that about it?
Really not looking forward to taking off the headers. Think i'll go grumble about it. :wink: :lol:

Water pump is behind the timing covers as it driven by the timing belt. The exhaust manifold can stay on. Take the radiator/fans all out as one piece and you'll have all the room in the world to get at it.


How close is the timing belt to being due for a change btw?
