Setnev Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Which side of the motor? I had a drip on the right (passenger) side that was caused by a weak radiator hose. If it's coming from the left (driver) side, I could be a couple things: lower radiator hose, leak in the steel coolant bypass hose that runs behind the cover, thermostat housing seal, or water pump.

Brighton96 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 It's not all that bad to replace the gasket, removing the crank pulley will be the worst part only because there's not a lot of space to get access to the bolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublechaz Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 You can get the accessory pully off right? You just can't take off the crank timing sprocket? If that is the case you can get to that water pump. It's the oil pump and front main seal that you'll never be able to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setnev Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Ya, realistically you can do it by removing just the radiator fans so that you can get access to the crank pulley bolt. You can do the replacement in about an hour to an hour and a half. Might as well do a full timing belt service while you're in there. Do it now or pay the price later when the belt snaps and you ruin your valvetrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
