is it common for it to go out???

ive been trying to track down a coolent leak and though it was at the coolent elbows but now i dont think that is the case. its leaking over there somewhere, and it gets all over my cradle, but i cant find it. maybe the gasket is out on the water pump??? i put some radiator stop leak stuff in the radiator and the best i could i syliconed up the elbows but it still leaks.

figured i would ask, what do yall think??

p.s. the coolent elbows are new but the bottom one does not quite fit corectly. when i get it all into place it goes a little sideways. but i dont think its leaking.
 


nothing???

well maybe someone knows what kind of bolts are holding the i guess powerstearing pulley on. i cant see it down there.
 
dude u seriously put stop leak in ur car? water pump on motor i bought was bad... theres a lil hole on pump... what purpose the hole is i dunno.... but thats where it was leaking from.
 
that hole is designed to leak coolant when the bearings start going bad. its doing its job. my cavalier had this "feature"
 


thats what that hole is for huh........... got this problem on another car.

and yes this was fixed AWHILE ago :D

and yes, radiator stop leak is some nasty gumming up stuff. never again.
