someone help coolant leak

[91stangy]

ok my brother said he saw a puddle of coolant in the driveway where i park but when i looked in a spot the other day where i was park there was nothing not a drop... no leaks at all, yesturday i was on the highway and realized my heat wasnt hot anymore so i turned it off and back on and it worked for a bit then did the same thing, still no leaks when i got home that i know of. then i drove it today for five minutes and parked it, came outside 20 minutes later and a puddle of coolant with a stream coming out of the motor. i drove it to my friends house another five minutes away at running temp. no heat, and the temp gauge shot up to about 3/4 when its normally below 1/4(stock gauge, 180 deg. thermostat). pull up to my friends house park and no leak again... take him for a ride another five minutes still no heat, park in front of his house coolant streaming again.

have you looked under the hood to check to see where its leaking from? water pump, heater core, hoses, core plug?

You have a leak somewhere...just need to find out where and fix/replace whatever it is.

Meh, throw some eggs into the radiator.. that should do it

You deffinitely need to actually LOOK for the leak... without finding out where it is how are we supposed to help?

Check ur hoses, water pump, thermostate neck, etc. Good Luck

ahh it def looks like its leaking from the timing pulley, i cant really get a good look at it though perhaps from below the water pump but the water pump is new.

Did you JUST have the water pump installed? if you did id probably assume its coming from there...someone messed up?

 

[91stangy]

pump has been there for about two years i installed it like everything else on my car

 

[Jaswir]

maybe its coming out the weep hole on the water pump

 

[91stangy]

if thats so why is so much coming out and why do i not have heat?

I can't say why so much is coming out because I don't know exactly where the leak is, but the reason you wouldn't have heat is simple... there's not enough coolant flow to the heater core because there's air in the system.
