that is coolant

 

I agree. I have seen the white residue on my radiator before.

Obviously not oil.....no gas either. Maybe I'm wrong but coolant is all I see left.

 

thats what i thought, my dad thought other wise , apparently it drips down when im moving and sprays back because of the wind, thanks guys!

 

or hits the radiator fan.

 

yahtzee!

 

coolant :up:

 

so if it hits the radiator fan as yall say, where do you think the leak is coming from?

 

Get it warm (parked) and try to trace the leak. I do not think it should be too hard......just go top to bottom.

Edit.....I will take a stab at it based on pictures.....I am going to guess the lower part of the block.....lower coolant hose.

But that is based on the pics making it look like the majority of the residue is coming from the lower half of the engine bay on the transmission side.

 

thats what i did which is how i found that the bottom of the upper radiator hose is wet, but my fan is infront of my radiator so i dont see how that leak could go threw the radiator fan

 

Nothing falls on the ground when its parked?

It might be the radiator.....did you eat a big rock in the radiator?

You could do a leak down test.

 

check other little coolent hoses around the engine, i had one leak right above where engine/trans meet. its just tiny, only leaks when system is under pressure (driving the car hard) but my coolent leak never drys white

it was just slimmy green ish spots. maybe try wash the bay, and see if it repeats? could also be road dirt, or left over salt from the road if your area havent been raining much.

 

if your roof leaked on your home, more than likely you wouldn't find the source of the leak right above the leak found. liquids are funny like that. the same applies here.

fill up on water and idle with the hood open in your driveway. i found out that the gasket for my thermostat housing fell off when i was installing my oil cooler, the hard way. lol.

 

it doesnt leak on the ground and its a very tiny leak, apparently it has been going on for a month and i still have almost all of my coolant in my reservoir left, so it must be super tiny, and yes i feel like it leaks more if the car is being driven hard and the rpms are up, if this hose dont fix it today i shall report back

edit: and it doesnt leak when its just at idle, i tried that, and thats why its thrown me for a loop

 

couldve just drove over something and it sprayed up from the axles. i had blue shit all over in the same spots but mine was cause i blew my cv joint lol

 

It's coolant bro, let the engine warm up drive it around when the coolant gets hot and expands it pressurizes the system and that's when the leak forms.
