so i notice this puddle under my moms car the other day. i looked under the car saw the frame wet, touched it, and its coolant.
so today i let it warm looking for signs of the leak, once it got to temp the lim seemed to be getting wetter looking at a gasket. and the water pump housing to block also looked wet, not sure if it traveled there or not yet. the whole time nothing hit the ground.
i came back 2 hours later there was a 4 inch puddle under the car and it was coolant. i found one single drop on a threaded stud end by the timing cover.
its a 2002 with a 3.0 engine. if anyone knows if the lims are a common leak on these pos cars. please let me know. its only got 54,000 miles, little old lady owned its whole life.
pics of wet areas i found.
lim
this is a pull out of this wet gasket
its wet below the black intake.
then the timing cover but this could be a traveling leak from the lim. not sure i need to clean it up. there was some bubbled up looking crud on top of the cover, some is left on the left side, i scrapped the rest of it off, no clue wtf that was.
this is the left side of the timing cover top.
