Coolant pouring out rear of engine
Long story short i was halfway through a 9 hour drive and starting leaking coolant somewhere out of the rear of the engine. It was within the first 15 minutes of driving when i went through a mcdonalds drive through. Looked under the car and it was almost a stream dripping off of the rear of the motor, running down off of the oil pan. I looked the best i could under the hood but couldn't see anything. I couldnt see anything wet from under the hood. Didn't see anything on the firewall.
I decided to try and nurse it home another 4 hours so i bought some water at walmart and hit the road. The weird thing is, i pulled over periodically to check the collant level and it stopped leaking. I drove it around a couple of miles yesterday to duplicate the problem and no leak!
ANy ideas on what to look for? ALso how could it stop leaking like that after it was damn near pouring out?
Its a stock engine A4 99 TA with 90k. Also i never picked up any smell from the heater or inside the car, only when the windows were down.
