DEXCOOLant LEAK
I just finished A&A supercharger install. Added to many things to list. I now have a slight drip of coolant. It drips off the AC comp housing back mounts and from the bolt on the oil pan on the passengers sideof the oil pan I can see up the block over the starter it is dry. The front at thermostat and water pump is dry as well. Is there something running accross the back of the motor that could leak? If so how could I check it out to find the leak? It appears to drop about 5-6 drops after sitting for a while. This is just not right. Short of dropping the cradle I am not able to locate the drip. Should I let it leak to stain so it is easier to find? Any advise will be appreciated.danny

A lot od people have had the "T fitting" on the BOTTOM of the coolant overflow/reservoir tank leak. There are three screws holding the tank on, one is pretty well hidden.
Wherever the leak is, get it fixed ASAP, Dexcool gets thick and muddy with an air leak.

Autozone and other auto parts stores often loan test tools for diagnosis. Get a coolant system pressurizing tool from one of them and pressurize the system when the coolant system is cold and full. Look for the leak. Or if the system is not full, pressurize it and listen for the air hiss at the leak point or look for bubbles.
