Hey guys I don't really know much about cars so here's the problem I'm having. I have a 95 240SX stock and it has a coolant leak. I can't seem to find where the leak is coming from. It's nowhere near the radiator. It drips from the bottom of the block but there's nowhere to be seen of where it runs from. Any tip is appreciated. Thanks.

 

If theres a crack in the tubing, it could just be traveling down the hose to the bottom of the block and then dripping.

I had this problem in my old stang, ended up needing new hosing and water pump.

Good luck, should be an easy fix.

 

Common coolant leaks can be found around the intake manifold, heater hoses on the rear of the block, etc.....

 

Thanks guys, I'll post what the outcome is.

 

Get a flashlight and paper towels, then stick your head inside the engine bay to look for the leak. Dry your hands, and touch around the hoses, starting from the bottom, then work your way up the river. If your hands get wet, wipe it dry, and do it again. Figure out which hose that aren't leaking, that should help narrow down your search for the leak.
Use mirrors if you have to.

 

buy a pressure tester and should be simple to find...better to spend the $20 than your engine overheating

 

Whats is a pressure tester going to tell him, that he has a leak?

Refer to Thread title.

 

Are you refering to what I said? If so, check those places for leaks. No need for a smart comment when I am trying to help out.

 

Oops, my bad SpottedMango.

 

Here's the thing your car is 11 years old. if you decide to repair this leak under the intake mani or heater core/firewall you better just remove the intake mani and replace all the hoses/vacumm lines or you can just fix it one hose/line at a time.

just an idea.
