cant find 2.2 leak source |
|
|
91 cavalier is leaking a cup full of coolant after each run.
its clear green and runs out the hole in the angled brace
on the passenger side under the oil filter,how screwed am I?
I wanted to find the source before taking it in but its obscured
and there is no trace of coolant on top where I can see
thank you in advance

There is a freeze plug in that area, coolant will track. Where you see
the coolant, there are no water jackets at that part of the block.

I had a 90 Cavalier with this engine. A great little engine with one
annoying flaw, a tendency for blowing head gaskets. Mine went at 72,000
miles. In the weeks prior it acted something like this.

I would bet its the water pump. Not too big of a fix, and fairly cheap. I
have put a couple in, and they are relatively easy.

I had another look today and the bottom of water pump pulley
has coolant on it,are there any tubes or hoses around it?
I saw another post that mentioned a bypass in that area..
