where is my coolant leaking from?
Hi, I observed that my coolant leaks from what it appears the area of front crankshaft oil seal. There is no oil leakage whatsoever and the fluid that is dripping does not indicate suggest there is oil in it.
I thought maybe the crankshaft front seal is bad, but then I asked myself: what would a coolant do in a crankshaft area since I believe there is only oil there.
I talked to a mechanic very casually and over the phone and he said that it is the water pump that is likely to be bad.
I would believe that, BUT
...the thing is that there is NO coolant leak paths that run from the waterpump down to crankshaft front seal.
Has ANYONE had similar situation and if so, then what was the solution?
Thanks,
