    Antifreeze leak. Getting low coolant across the speedometer. Leak is coming from the back of the motor. Constant overheating. Having to constantly stop and go due to the fact.

    Thanks for the info.!
    : )





























    If that was a question... I'd fix leak, refill coolant and call it a day.

    good luck!

    Yeah but how do you fix the leak. I don't know where it's coming from. Or if it's the water pump that went out.

    Take flash light and see where it is dripping from, follow from there. We can't help with what little if any info you have besides it is over heating. It can be a number of things. First give it a try and find out if you can at least see from what side. Heater hoses, elbows on the lim, water pump, radiator, head gasket, radiator drain plug.

    The issue with being on the internet forum and asking for advice is ..you are our eyes and hands. Telling us.. "there's a leak" doesn't cut it. We need a picture of the wet area, and for you to poke around and find the leak. Once you find the issues or give us pictures.. we can likely head you in the right direction.

    I'm pretty sure this one answers it. See the wet look on the wiring? Check that hose connection right next to where it begins getting wet. Is the piece right there wet?

    In the first picture you see where theres ribs on the piece right above the ps res. I stuck my finger inside it and it tasted like coolant. Sorry that a bit weird but I was taught that by a mechanic to tell where a leak is. But is there supposed to be anything connected on those ribs

    See the hose in the picture next the ribs (aka wire loom)? Follow it to the piece of aluminium I think that connection is your leak
