Coolant leak near oil pan

haywardstratus · #1 10-13-2007, 03:45 AM

Hi, my 02 Stratus ES is leaking quite a bit of coolant. I cannot locate the leak because all the engine components are so cramped together in the engine bay...[:@]But it is dripping from the front-right end of the oil pan. Nothing can be seen from the top though.

How can I detect where the leak is from?

Thanks

I was thinking water pump aswell. How many mile do you have on your car?

If it IS the water pump then you should have the timing belt changed out at the same time. You have to take all that crap off to get to it and you don't want to have to do it again anytime soon. I'm only assuming that you should be changing it out soon anyway if your Strat is and '02? 70ish K maybe?
