Dodge: dodge pickup leaking antifreeze, dodge pickup, wet spots


Question
I have a 1989 dodge 100 pickup and its leaking antifreeze seemingly from the bottom of the motor somewhere. could you tell me where possibly its leaking and how to fix it? There seems to be no antifreeze in the oil though.

Answer
Check the thermostat housing really well,it will leak and cause the water to trickle down the front side of the engine behind the alternator.You didn't mention what part of the engine.Front or rear?Also the intake gasket will cause it to leak but it will leak and run down the back side of the engine between the engine and firewall.Check really well behind the alternator with a flashlight to see if you see any wet spots,it will not cause it to puddle up it's just a small stream of water.
