Engine is leaking coolant

[bishpuppy]

Hi All,

Seems like I get out of one issue and into another but i still love my cb7. Anyways, my 1993 cb7 lx is leaking coolant from the engine. Is on the timing belt side and it is from a port that looks like a screw goes in there. I went to the JY and checked out a 94 accord (closest i could find) and a screw does not go there, but i'm not sure what the leak could be -- timing belt/water pump? headgasket?. while i'm driving, my temp is normal, i stop and let the car cool down -- no problem. As the car is cooling, it drops about 1 drop of coolant every 20s and by the time is done, i've leaked a good amount. It started last week on Sat or Sun and since then i've had to put in 1 1/2 gal of coolant.

i'll post pics after i jack up the car in a hour or so but any ideas ?

do a pressure check.

There are alot of screws on the timing side. Could be the water pump weep hole.

Sound like water pump, double check it

sounds like water pump to me. mine was hemorrhaging end of december. sounds similar.

Remove the timing belt cover and run the car to see were it is leaking from. I doubt its the head gasket you would have noticed it.

Wow. The car sure knows when I need to replace things.

200miles shy of 150k and i was going to bring her in to have the timing belt + water pump changed.

Here are the pics just incase it helps.

Thats the weep hole, Will leak coolant when need replacing. Aswell as timing belt job.

check your hoses to make sure their not damaged then check the water pump to make sure itz not defective, the check the radiator core or coolant reservoir bottle those r fine the check the engine drain or water jacket core good luck bro
