Recently replaced my degas bottle and everything's been fine, coolant-wise. Recently however since the temperatures have dropped quickly, i've developed a coolant leak that I cannot exactly pinpoint. Coolant seems to be leaking from somewhere very close and maybe slightly above the idler pulley, and down in between it and the engine, and finally the oil pan. It will form a drip at the bottom of the oil pan every 3-5 minutes. It's made a huge mess of things down there.
I cannot from any angle see where its originating from, probably because how dirty and greasy everything has gotten in areas i cant get into to clean. After searching around, I've found someone with the exact symptoms, except with the 3.9: http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/forum/showthread.php?76013-Strange-Coolant-Leak
I spent well over 2 hours trying to figure this one out with no luck. Just cant believe its this hard to see where its coming from when i can clearly see a slow steady drip off the oil pan. Thanks for any help, much appreciated.
