Sorry that this is not a vintage question, lets pretend that the 5.0 in SWMBOs 94 GT vert is really in my 66. There that makes me feel better.
The engine has been slowly leaking coolant. Today it seemed to be getting worse. It is coming from by the water pump on the front drivers side. I had to remove the power steering pump to get a good look (that wasn't that easy, had to get a special puller to do it).
Anyway the leak is not from the pump, it appears to be from the timing chain cover where it meets the block. Does this make any sense at all??? It just doesn't seem like there should be coolant leaking from there.
In my Haynes manual it says to "make sure to coat the bolt that is in that part of the cover with sealant", would this be to make sure water does not get out some how?
Any advice would be appreciated, I plan to take the water pump and timing chain cover off this weekend.
