Just wondering if anyone has dealt with this before...
noticed over a period of (a while now), that my car was lightly "spotting" near the belt/pulley side of the engine compartment. Thought it was just a blow-by, or eventual hose pressure weakening (trailing from somewhere else). Got car ready for hose swaps, and inspection, found out that I cannot locate the leak merely by observation from above or below w/o major part removal. It appears to be coming from somewhere behind the water pump (The water pump is still working though). Should I be freakin'?
I've heard something about a waterpump blow-by or something of the like, is this routine in 88's or might I have blown a o-ring/gasket. Oh, and while I was under there, I did notice that it was rusting my oil pan!!! So it must have been doing this for sometime... help help help
