Coolant Leak

5 Attachment(s)

I have a coolant leak in my 89 Civic hatch. Where could it be coming from? These are the pics I took. If anyone has any questions to help me diagnose please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks in advance.

Looks too high to be the waterpump. May be the headgasket. Clean it up real good, let the car idle , then sit there and watch for it to leak.

That's what I did. I even used the UV dye. The picture is EXACTLY where its coming from.

I think that's the weep hole for the waterpump. It shouldn't leak near that much, just a couple of drops. Are you overheating? Is it losing a significant amount of coolant?

Wait for more opinions just to be sure but, I think it's time to change the timing belt/waterpump.
