Another coolant leak question
My car is under CPO warranty, & I too am having a slow coolant leak. May be flange, but I can't pinpoint it yet. Car hasn't been to dealer since CPO warranty took effect, so if I do take it in to look for the leak, will it be covered? I can never get a straight answer from the dealer about what is & isn't covered under CPO. Pleas help. TIA!

Re: Another coolant leak question
If it is the flange leaking, you shoould see some orangy kind of liquid, just behind the cylinders. At least this where my leak was.
But the mechanic also told me that the water pump was leaking as well. In order to see this, you have to remove the cover at the bottom of the car.

Cool, didn't know there was a TSB on it.....
Judging from evidence on my belly pan, fluid is dripping from the resevoir area, but no residue on the resevoir exists. Am I right that the flange is somewhat close to the resevoir?
