I wasn't in the market for a new hobby, but it seems like my son's 97 Taurus is imposing itself on me as one...
The latest issue is a coolant leak which is difficult to find... It will drain the radiator when its parked and all I can see is some dripping coming from the cross member under the pulley and belts of the engine and some leaking near the front passenger side of the radiator...
The weep hole on the water pump is dry but I can't find the leak...
I filled the coolant reservoir with water to see if it would leak and put the cap back on. When I squeeze the upper of lower radiator hose I get some gurgling but no leaks... the next step might be to start it up for a minute to see if it leaks when it builds up pressure.
Anyhow, just thought I would ask if any one had any tips on finding a leak like this...
thanks
