Default Got a new leak today????

On my way home this morning on my 87 I saw I have a new leak. Rad fluid is coming from the passenger side under the pullies and I think my be coming from the lower rad hose. Where does this thing go to? Just under the pullies? I cant see it but I know its coming from there.

Its either the hose which hooks onto the side of the water pump, or the water pump is leaking coolant..Put your finger under the pump and see if the small weep hole at the bottom has coolant coming out.....WW

It could also be the little hose that runs into the TB from the water pump, if it is you can bypass that which also helps take heat out of top of intake. Do a search for TB bypass

invest in a small mirror on a telescoping shaft......Look for the dribble coming out from the weep hole on the water pump. it could be dribbling out there and just running the passenger side.
