Default Can't find Coolant leak


Changed my engine mounts and tranny mount. Took the car out for a test spin and when I came back there's coolant leaking from the back of the engine somewhere. I think when the engine was lifted to get to the mounts a hose or something came loose but I can't find/see where it's coming from. I'm really not in the mood to lift the engine out to find this leak, is there another way to find / plug this leak without lifting the engine?[/align]

yeah buy a pressure tester and pump it up and look for the peeing green stream!!! could be the coolant hoses that go to the heater core as they are attached to the tubes on the engine that run the length of the motor beside the passanger side valve cover and connect to the heater core and if the motor was lifted to high they could of been stretched/ disturbed and now are leaking...hopefully your heater core is okay[:@]

I don't think the heater core is still in this stang . It doesn't get cold enough for a heater down south .

But seriously, thanks. I'm sure you're right.
