Coolant Leak Solved I Think !!
Weather was nice enough a couple of weeks ago to get the "Z" out and take it for a spin. After putting it back to bed I noticed a small amount of coolant had ended up on the floor. Location was under the drivers side of front of engine. Also noticed a drip on cross member in this location.
Decided to tear into it yesterday to figure out the culprit. Removed intake filter housing and used a mirror to attempt to identify location of the leak. Nothing coming from the "nose" of the water pump, but under the drivers side of water pump looked a little too clean. I remembered reading a post about tightening the water pump bolts, so gave this a shot. Found 1 not much more than finger tight and a couple more not tight enough. Weather was nice today also, so got it out to test my coolant leak fix. Let it idle 'till the fan came on, ran it around a bit, parked for a couple of hours and then did it again. I think it is fixed!! No drips, no sign of leakage found using mirror to inspect all around the water pump area. While the "Z" was out I washed the "winter dust" off. I think it still looks great!z012818 (3).jpg |
