Default Coolant leak



I have a 97 Dakota, auto,V6 with 120k. It recently started leaking a few drops of coolant.The leakis from the interface of the engine and transmission. There looks like a weep hole at this mating surface and that is where the coolant is leaking. I can't find any referenceto this particular spot in the shop manual though. There are no symptoms of problems with the engine, trans, radiator or any of their fluids. No sound or performance indicators either.Any help would be greatly appreciated.</P>

if you can get your hands on an ultraviolet light try adding a dye to your coolant. the dye may be sold at part stores or you may also be able to get it from a local speed shop. the dye is setup so that when you shine the light on the motor it shows up as a blue glow.<edited><editID>mattyrz</editID><editDate>38000.8456134259</editDate></edited>
