I started my car today for the 1st time with a new rebuild. It started right up 1st try which made me happy as rebuilds I had in the past took awhile to get started. Then I noticed coolant dripping from the bottom of the motor and I don't know where its coming from. The drip is every few seconds and its on the intermediate side housing near the oil pan. The heater has been removed from the car and the coolant in the throttle body bypassed so I don't know where it could be from. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

 

Did you check the large line on the rear iron that used to supply the heater core?

 

did you rebuilt it your self? maybe you pinched the out side coolant seal.

 

EASY ! You see that bolt right there next to your circle? Well that is your coolant drain plug for the engine. Tighten up a little and see if the leak stops. If not then pull it out, inspect gasket (metal) clean and re-insert.

Thanks badddrx7, I will try today but I pretty sure your right that where it looks like it coming from.
