leaking coolant...i think.. while working under the car when I was changing out my pulley, i noticed that there was liquid on the kmember and around 2 steel lines right by it. It was orange-ish in color and tasted semisweet then bitter. I couldnt see any leaks coming from the hoses up top and the fluid seems to be full. Any ideas??
i didnt swallow

how much coolant was there? clean it up and run the car a bit and see if it comes back in the same spot. you squeeze all the hose's and to rule out any holes or cracks in the them? any traces of coolant near the TB coolant tubes or hoses?

its gotta be just a small leak its its only that small amount. i vote a frayed hose, a slightly loose or offset clamp, something simple.
i had a clamp on the TB coolant hose work itself loose and leak a drop or two of coolant when it got to full operating temp.
and thanks, i've had several members PM and email me saying that they cant see my posts even though they see my name in the thread. i PM'd and emailed sky but he aint responding.
