Car is 95 Cobra, 5 speed, stock 5.0
Well what I thought was a typical water pump change might not be the case. I was driving in traffic and noticed my heat went cold. I didn't have a Low Coolant light but I stopped anyway and shut off the motor. Coolant was pouring out everywhere somewhere from the front so I guessed water pump. I was less than a mile from home so I figured I would let cool, top off and go. It held 2 gallons of coolant so far. The reason is that as I am pouring in, it is running out. I felt all over the pump and can't find any coolant. I checked around and I see coolant on the passenger's side front off the block. It is running from somewhere above down to the oil pan seam and off onto the ground.
I felt around the bottom of the pump and no coolant.
None of the upper hoses are leaking either.
The lower hose comes off the drivers side so I ruled it out.
Is there a freeze plug in that area to cause this?
Could a head gasket leak like that?
All the water placed in the upper radiator hose will leak out but its not instant. The level in the radiator will drop below the upper radiator hose port after about 1-2 minutes.
Thanks in advance. Its still there cause i'm afraid to start it!
