After changing the timing belt, water pump, thermostat, coolant reservoir, the little bastard still wants to leak coolant. Is there a "typical" place that the 2.8's are prone to leak from. Its apparently dripping down from the front of the oil pan... I previously suspected the waterpump. Any ideas from those familiar with the V6 variety?

Thanks in advance.

 

leaky water pump seal/hose, double check it

 

there was an issue of coolant leak below the plenum/intake but was more to the rear of the engine

 

There appears to be a coolant "tube" that is visible from the front of of the motor(with the water pump removed). Are there seals (o-ring) that are prone to leak on this part? And I presume this tube runs below the intake manifold to the rear of the motor... yes? I really don't feel like tearing into this car again in this wonderful Texas heat. I hope it is as simple as a hose needing replacement. Any other thoughts?

Thanks-

 

one problem when working on cars is when removing hoses that are old (they split) and the only time you notice is when its back together, a swine really its happened to me on many occasions

 

yeah im in the process of doing all that to mine. so im keeping my fingers crossed...since im not replaceing the tubing.
