Hi,

I have a 1987 Tbird, 3.8L V6.
It's leaking anti-freeze(in steam form) near/around the
timing chain cover under pressure with a pressure tester.
It drips out when cooling down in driveway, but can't trace
from drip. There is no water in the oil. Waterpump was changed
a few years ago and doesn't appear to be leaking.

Any ideas?
Thanks, Doug

you have a collant leak timing cover wouldnt cause this or stop it. try
"bar stop leak " or a product like it but water pump could be going bad
again especially if it was a remanifactured product

Only because you can't buy Bar's with foodstamps and you can buy
oatmeal.
