Well today I notice this puddle after starting my car and letting it warm up while i had to run back into the house and there is a HUGE puddle rear the front.
Seems to becoming from the timing cover but not sure what could this be

What a fantastic thanksgiving huh?!

our intakes don't have water in them. maybe he noticed something in the steam pipe area? i would either pressure test the system or start looking real hard at every water connection with a light and a mirror. it shouldn't be that hard to source the problem.

Well taking the water pump off started doing it tonight but stopped because of light issues noticed that the bolts were no where near tight like took 0 force to break them loose maybe the source of the problem?

Loose water pump bolts = leak. Pretty certain there. Add in lack of thread sealant on the threads and you've got a leak. Simple.

well ill go back out there tomorrow tighten them real good and see if she leaks. just dont know why they would come loose like that. I mean there weren't finger loose but no where as tight as i thought they would be

x2. I had a small amount of seepage going onto the pump housing after my fresh build.( used thread sealant also) After a quick bit of extra torque on that one bolt, everything sealed up.

To the OP if tightening up does not work, take out one at a time and put some thread sealant on each one. (it will be messy because coolant is going to flow out) Being you working with wet surfaces, you should consider a sealant that does not cure.

Yeah going to take the pump off today and look for the stain where its coming from and seal it up good and try that
