What is leaking coolant?
My radiator has a small leak but I went underneath the car today with it running and there seems to be a leak coming from behind the biggest pulley (underdrive?) but water seems to be leaking from that area and coming from above. i checked the water pump from what i can see from the bottom and top and no signs of a water leak. I am stumped! ...is it possible for the engine to leak water?
Thanks in advance!

mine leaked from the gaskets AND the WP driveshaft going into the block. the ball bearings for the rod were all over the place, making the rod extremely loose, causing the rusty leak you see in the picture.

I saw the picture and i think thats where my water pump leaks from but i wont find out till saturday...
If its just the rod or gaskets can it be repaired and if so for how much???
Does anyone have shoebox'es website so i can check and see if he has directions on the removal of the water pump???
Thanks for the input guys!

check with OReilly's for a reman stock WP for $110, lifetime replacement.
remove the intake elbow, MAF, cai - move the fans down - drain the remaining coolant from the radiator - start removing the bolts from the left side of the WP - remove the AIR pump bracket and the AIR pump in order to access the final bolts holding the WP
