Intermittent Coolant Leak

[zoe60]

When I first got mine it leaked bad around the cam seal. My engine had been over heated bad by the PO. Eventually replaced the engine. Still, I'd replace the cam seal too while you're in there. Easy and cheap.

ok, you need to change your water pump, there's a walk through on the site if you search (use my SN and waterpump as search criteria). the crank seal MUST be changed as well... that's where the oil leak is comming from (the only seal under pressure). it stops when the oil pump starts sucking air and drops pressure. the light comes on at 6psi and that's DANGEROUSLY low and can cause damage to your engine.

There is your to the point answer. Pressure wash it before you start.

Definitely have to clean it first.
