Coolant leak issue
Well. this past week has been quite a pain in trying to figure out what's causing this leak. I've replaced the water pump and that didn't help and it seems the leak is coming from around that area. When I start the car up it starts leaking like no tomorrow, I noticed that the fan doesn't kick in like it should, I have to add coolant/water for it to start up and once it does the leaking stops. Any ideas on what could be causing this? I've searched and searched on here and haven't come across a problem like this.

I think the 05-06's have a plastic housing cover, yes? First place to look anyhow.

Not sure obviously, but that makes perfect sense to me. Warped/cracked, extra pressure when thermostat isn't open fully, or it's not being otherwise cooled... Think it, and a new 0-ring might set you back a total of $30..
