After I shut down my 96 jeep cherokee V8 a pretty good leak of
antifreze was dripping on the ground. I traced the leak to an area that
is very hard to see. I cleaned the area and blew it off with some air.
It seem to be comming from up above and behind the water pump. The
water pump was replaced about two or three years ago. The leak appears
to be comming closer to the engine side. Is there two bolt on
housings, the pump and a spacer block? It defenitly dose not seem to
be the pump. I am afraid it seems to be between the housing and the
engine block. It is very hard to see in there. I was wondering about a
freeze plug in that area.
