Coolant (I think) leaking from front engine pulley
on my '80 (with an '85 12A engine) race car, I run it, then shut it down, and there's like this.. hissing sound, can't find where it is, then I look on the front engine pulley, and it's like sputtering out some air and coolant (I think). I'm pretty sure it was coolant.
However, there was what I THINK was oil going all over the underside of the front part of the hood and engine bay. It SEEMED like, I dunno.. the front something was leaking and it was throwing crap all over at a fairly slow rate.
Anyhow, anyone ever have this problem? Either oil or coolant? And I've never done engine work on any rotary, so how hard is this to fix?

Just to note that the pully that the fan is/was attached to is actually the water pump pulley, the Main pulley is below it.
Not trying to insult your intelligence or anything. I have to think about this everytime I look at an engine. I've felt stupid as hell pointing to the wrong pulley at the shop before.
