Hey guys, my 96 maxima just recently decided it doesnt like to hold it's coolant for more then about 15 minutes of driving. The coolant drips down off of the front of the oil pan, almost inbetween it and the ac compressor. I filled it before i left for work this morning and after about 10 minutes the car was overheating. I have some pictures of where the leak is coming from on my photobucket at http://s203.photobucket.com/al...21126/Just wondering if any of you know exactly what would cause a leak this size. Thanks in advance

Take a look at the timing chain cover, and see if it looks like it is leaking from in there. If that is where the leak is coming from, it's most likely a water pump.
