Re: coolant leak

It is not possible for water to come out from the timing cover, but it could be coming from where the water pump bolts up to the block. Check it again, could be the gasket leaking.

Re: coolant leak

Thanks. I read the same online, went ahead and replaced the gaskets. Seems to be fine now.
