So this is actually coolant...Not tranny fluid...

After asking where this "tranny fluid" is leaking from I decided to do a little more investigation myself. Put 2 and 2 togther and discorvered that this is coolant leaking not transmission fluid. Big red flag was that my tranny fluid levels stayed constant whereas I was always loosing coolant. So now my question is where do you guys think this leak is coming from? I'm thinking its possibly coming from the water pump but even then if the pump were bad wouldnt I be able to hear it?

TL;DR: This isnt tranny fluid its coolant. where is it leaking from?

thanks in advance, pics below

 

Can you see anything from up top

 

absolutely nothing

 

Could be the oil cooler

 

Freeze plug/casting plug starting to go on that side? I guess you could have squeezed out the head gasket just enough to cause a leak MAYBE. Hard to tell with how much there is. I'd recommend cleaning it really well and checking it out.

 

Look and through the fender

 

I'm betting water pump. You only would hear a bad bearing, not a leak.

 

My money is oil cooler

 

Does the block have a drain like the 2nd gens?

 

^yeah ill rinse it all down with some degreaser and see if I can better tell where is coming from. will post updates, thanks for the input guys
