Title: Leaking coolant!? Help!
Post by: ThemmA24 on February 17, 2012, 02:37:36 AM
Well i have an 89' chevy suburban... Just recently started leaking coolant... Not from radiatior, or any hoses.... Ive pinpointed the leak to a spot between front of oil pan and big bottom pulley... Have no clue what it is... Any knowledge would help.. Only leaks wen running.. Steady drip..:( its a 350 with 400 turbo trans..

sounds like its water pump, where you described is right below it   :)

when they go bad they have a weep hole that they will steadily drip out of

Could even be as simple as the pump gasket to. Pump is easy to replace. Pull the belt, pull the upper fan shround, unbolt the fan and then unbolt the pump!

So remove the fan, wich also removes the pulley, then remove the other 3/8s 4 bolts.
Pull it off and put a new one on.

Incase you didn't get my text ;)
