weird problem - water loss where?
Alright, i have water loss (A LOT!!) somewhere at the front of the engine (i believe) on my 83' SC. I poor water into the radiator, and it goes into the lower rad hose, and leaks out somewhere under the car. all i can see is it dripping. is it the water pump? I didn't check under it. also a couple other hoses are spewing water from pressure, but they aren't the main problem here, it's a big leak somewhere!!! we have what? a 2-3 gallon cooling system? completely empty in 15-20 miles of driving (i kept pulling into gas stations and filling car back up). Now, does anyone know off the top of their head what it may be? i just hope it's not a cracked block.
No, i don't have water in the oil, and my head gaskets seem fine. what should i check for? its a carb 2.8 83' SC non- v-belt. its got a dual belt setup
