john99gtp Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Hey guys. I went out to change my serp. belt and supercharger belt this evening (did those both by myself, im so happy!!!), and noticed i got a bit of a water leak well, more then a bit, the cars been sitting for at least 90 minutes, and its still going. its water, theres no color or smell to it at all, looks just like water, and it appears to be coming from the back of my engine cradle.... any ideas?? No, i dont use the AC, so thats not it..... Lemme know please John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z34_nut Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 back of the engine? mabey your water pump went and its running down a hose or sumthing to the back of the engine, i can't think of any items back there that leak. check your coolent, and look at your temp gage. if your car is cool right now, go and take the radiator cap off. see how much fluid. then start the car...see if it leaks where the water pump is. just my two cents...

john99gtp Posted August 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 kyle i would understand that, but doesnt the "water" pump actually pump the coolant/water mix?? if so, then wouldnt it leak the coolant/water mix??? My coolant tank is filled to where its supposed to be when the engine is cool (its above cold, but below hot, so im guessing its pretty good) as for the actual radiator, i never understood this, you cant see the top of the liquid. I would put some in, but everything says fill by the overfill bottle also, right underneath my WP is a plastic shield type thingy, and its bone dry.....unless its running down the side, i see nothing over there please help meh!

z34_nut Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 (maybe its nothing at all, afterall, we did just get like 3" of rain) true because a car will not leak pure water, it would have to have coolent in it, unless its coming from your A/C, but you said you don't use that.. so i'm stumped if its leaking water, but not coolent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl3196 Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Where does your temp gauge run at? Should be about at the first big mark above 160. Mine is a couple bars lower but I have a 180 t-stat in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is a couple bars lower but I have a 180 t-stat in. right smack in the middle between 160 and 210 doesnt fluctuate when its idling as bad as it used to due to the intense PCM, which turns the fan on at 179* Cars never, ever, been over 210, even in traffic without the PCM John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no1kicker Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 If it just rained a lot I wouldn't worry. Probably just wome water that was hiding on you. Anything you want to do at the mod day this Sunday I'll give you a hand (along with everyone else), bring a t-stat and plugs. Maybe a set of wires too.
