    Default Small coolant leak

    Walking around under my car today at the shop i noticed a small coolant leak coming from the crank pulley area on my (all stock) '99 hardtop. I'm not too worried as the leakage is fairly small - a couple of runs and droplets on the leaf spring, thats how i noticed it. I couldn't see that it was wet behind the pully though.... have any of you noticed small coolant leakage at the front of the block? What could be the culprit here? Thanks

    if it is anti freeze coolant the water pump is starting to go. there has also been some leaks around the expansion plugs in the heads and the fan will blow the leak around and make it tough to find where the leaks comes from

    ok so water pump possibly... I'm going to wait a little longer to see how bad the leak gets. That coolant distribution assembly on the front of the block is pretty big.... I wonder if the whole thing is the water pump... Strange. Thank you though.
