short version: went to start my car and it wouldn't start, seemed flooded. after repeated attempts i can't get it started, and today notice coolant dripping to the ground from the passengerside back corner of the suspension crossmember (1 in the picture)

long version:

i went to start the car up after it'd sat there for 2 days and it cranks but wont catch. just like the 2 other times its been flooded in the past yr. i take out the plugs and they are wet to varying degrees and have a bit of carbon buildup. i figure maybe fouled plugs led to the flooding, either that or a weak battery. i clean the plugs with my compressed air/sand blast spark plug cleaner.

with the plugs out cranked the motor to push out the excess fuel from the housings.

in the morning i cranked it again to make sure it was clean. put in the plugs, cranked.. seems like it wants to start but doesn't. now i've deflooded twice in the past w/o problem so i was getting frustrated. thought maybe it was a weak battery from all the cranking so i got a jump and tried cranking. same thing it wont start,after a while i take out the plugs and they're wet again with fuel.

so without plugs again, i crank to push out any fuel and now i see it coming out spraying like a mist. after a while its still there coming out so i go to bed.

today i get up, same thing crank a few times. battery dies. so i hook up the charger and after lunch i crank it a few more times. the stuff is still coming out but progressively less and less.

problem is, it doesn't smell like fuel at all anymore. it doesn't smell like anything. then i look under the car and i see something dripping from the passengerside crossmember/brace. don't know whats going on. can coolant seals go bad just like that? is the engine flooded with coolant?

can bottoming out the front end of the car break something that would cause a coolant leak?

thanks

 

^up sorry for all the new threads the past few days , update-- coolant is getting into the engine as well.
