My 88 still does the same thing yours does. I also just put a piece of tape over the SES light. I changed the egr solenoid switch, and the temp. switch. It didn't solve the problem though. The car runs great, it used to bug me quite a bit(the light). But now I just tune it out, and...
I found the leak
Its the waterpump. Took it out for about 5 minutes, then it started leaking. Got her home real fast, opened the hood, there she was. Leak coming from the bottom of the water pump for sure. I am relieved I found it without having to do a pressure test. I am not sure why it...
Thanks Moon. Great picture. I will look tonight. Will rent a pressure tester later on this week, when I have time. I will check where the overflow tube might be running to also. Thanks again for the advice.
Thanks guys for all the advice. I did not run the air, had the top off on this day. I will go over the car with a fine tooth comb, before I pull the water pump. I am bound and determined to find out where the anti-freeze came from. There was no sign of leaks from the overflow area. We...
Checked all clamps. I have one spring type clamp left on the big hose going in to the motor. No residue at all on it. Hoses were all dry too. Very freaky incident I must say.
Coolant on the passenger side of the car. Very hard to determine where it was coming from. A pressure test will tell the where the leak will be for sure. I had the intake gasket, thermostat changed about a year ago.
I got home after a 35 mile drive, and when I put her in the garage, about 1 minute later I had about 8 oz. of coolant on the floor. I checked all the hoses, nothing coming from them. I was thinking it could be the water pump, although after running the car up to temp twice, it never leaked...
I just changed my oil last week. I used the PF454, I too was a little hesitant to use this one. It works just fine, no problems. Oil pressure is just as good as the Mobil 1 that I used the last time.
EGR valve is underneath the plenum. Egr valve is only like 55.00 bucks, but if you pay to have it done. It will cost you some bucks(couple hundred). I had my intake manifold gasket changed 2 years ago, and I should of had them change the egr as long as they had the plenum off. My mistake...
