Antifreeze seeping from lower timing cover

Post by **freeonboard** » Sat Jan 17, 2009 10:24 pm

1992 240sx: silicone seal leaking I'm leaking coolant where the front timing cover mates the engine block How quickly will this get worse because I'm worried about getting stranded somewhere? Is there anything I can use to stop a leak if I get in trouble ie cotton or some other material to fill crack. Will this just leak slowly for years with no consequences like oil? Thanks.

It will be ok for a little while, just make sure it is not leaking in too. You can reseal the front of the block in a day. If you want you could try bars stop leak from the auto stores. It leaks out when the engine is running and solidifies to seal it.
