Belt/Leaking Cooling help please!?

anthonypunt · 07-17-2011, 06:58 PM

Alright, i did the test on the fan and it IS good, i had a mechanic look at the water pump and he said it is DEFINITELY good also. Where could the magic leaking coolant be coming from that's coming from towards the back of the engine near the firewall? (atleast thats what it looked like from where the coolant was on the ground) I could not see any coolant or any residue anywhere on the engine?

And thanks so much to everyone who has helped me out on this! It will only be my everyday driver for about one more month, then i will be buy a newer (05+) car that will be my winter/everyday car

Ok you have an S4 right? If so you could have the heater hose that goes under the intake manifold that is hard to see much less get to. That could have busted. Also on FC's look on the driver's side for the heater hose. Run's near the oil filter. That one is famous for breaking since when you change the oil you will get some on it. I tend to replace them every two years or so just because.
