Coolant Leak - Intermittent - 2002 4.3L Safari
Posted: Sun Mar 10, 2013 10:14 am
I thought I had a water pump issue so I bought a new one and prepared to put it in.
I started to take things apart but got stuck when I couldn't find a spanner wrench to get the fan off. I decided to go ahead and flush the system in the mean time.
Before I drained out the Prestone Flush solution... I noticed it quit leaking. Hmmm...
So... I went ahead and finished flushing the system, refilled it with coolant, and decided to do a little more homework.
Since then, I noticed that it seems to leak when I run the AC. It's not condensation... it is dripping under the middle front of the engine... where you would expect a water pump leak, and it has coolant in it.
Anyone else seen this problem?
Thanks
