coolant leak??
to start it off my 94 touring is bone stock with 42k miles on it
my coolant seems to be running down the front of the block right around the crank pulley, I got underneath the car and from what I saw all the hoses were dry, water pump and housing were dry. I hooked up the pressure tester and still can't pin-point the leak. It looks like its leaking somewhere above the crank pulley sensors and that little black box in that area. I searched and didn't find much. Any input or idea where it's coming from? It leaks a good amount once it gets all warmed up and pressure builds.
With this being my first coolant leak and problem of such I am going to replace all coolant hoses and most likely the radiator..

There's only a few things it could be there.
Either -
- Water pump has failed and the coolant is coming from the weep hole. Kinda doubt that with the mileage on the car, FD water pumps are pretty hardy.
- Water pump to water pump housing gasket is leaking
- Water pump housing to engine gasket is leaking (I'm leaning towards this)
