1987 Tbird coolant leak

Doug O'Neal via CarKB.com 14 April 2005 02:40:39
 Hi,

I have a 1987 Tbird, 3.8L V6.
It's leaking anti-freeze(in steam form) near/around the
timing chain cover under pressure with a pressure tester.
It drips out when cooling down in driveway, but can't trace
from drip. There is no water in the oil. Waterpump was changed
a few years ago and doesn't appear to be leaking.

Any ideas?
Thanks, Doug

 you have a collant leak timing cover wouldnt cause this or stop it. try
"bar stop leak " or a product like it but water pump could be going bad
again especially if it was a remanifactured product

Only because you can't buy Bar's with foodstamps and you can buy
oatmeal.

 i also have an 87 t bird and i an a tech ta pep boys in so cal. i read that the water pump was replaced a few years ago, i would recomend replacing it every 70,000 mile or once a year as well as the ani-freeze. i would also recomend puchasing a chilton guide as they provide a good reference to these issues and proper maintenence.
