Hy guys. I have a problem with my 1995 Z5 Protege with 103400 miles.
I smelled coolant today when i got out of my car. I looked under it and saw it dripping from the passenger side. I then started looking where it was coming from and after finding out that it wasn't coming from any of the coolant hoses and the radiator i then removed that plastic cover underneath the car and got under it.
I started the car and waited to see where it was coming from. It is not coming from the water pump, but a bit further towards the firewall about 4 inches. It seems to be coming from the oil dipstick area and from behind that pulley.
Please check out the picture on the link i have provided and give me your ideas. It seems to be coming down from the places shown with red arrows. Could it be that i have a blown head gasket? If you have a blown head gasket then is it normal for the car to leak coolant as well?
It does not overheat or leak oil at all, just leaks coolant from a lower part of the engine.
Any help is much appreciated.
