Re: leak

Most likely if you say it's defiantly coming from the front of the engine.Check it,start it up and wait for it to leak. .

Re: leak

are talking about the very front of the engine, where the timing cover is? only things there for the colant system is the pump and the upper and lower rad hoses or the radiator. if its just pouring out its probably the lower hose or the radiator.
