Author Topic: Coolant leak from behind the water pump...93LX AL STOCK Its All Stock Cuzzon Member # 1852 posted                                 Me and 3 of my friends were looking underneath my friends 93LX and we noticed green coolant behind the waterpump.. Like somewhere near the distributor roots.. Underneath the distributor housing.. NOTE: Its not leaking bad.. Like a cup of coolant every 4 days.. At first i thought it was his water pump but its behind the pump.. We can see a little crack on top.. Should we just seal that crack with some patch?

There's a gasket there that goes bad after a while. To fix it right, you'll need to remove the pump. -------------------- 1965 Shelby Cobra 1993 Cobra 2012 F150 Raptor 2020 GT500 Posts: 6523 | From: Orlando FL/Redding CA | Registered: Mar 2002  |  : hidnn.o.s. ¯ Member # 1219 posted                           I would do it right once. -------------------- R.I.P.

Mine leaked a couple of months ago. I hope for you it's not because that's a shitty repair job.

The leak is most likely from the intake gaskets. He doesnt want to get it fixed now because of the lack of leak.. He said when the leak gets bigger he will get it fixed LoL i told him he could blow a head gasket Posts: 6498 | From: San Bruno | Registered: Sep 2002  |  :
