I DROVE FROM NORTH CAROLINA TO WASHINGTON STATE IN MY 96 S14 240SX. (5 LUG HUB CONVERSION AND HKS EXHAUST, SINCE THE PHOTO)NOW MY CAR IS LEAKING COOLANT. IT ONLY LEAKS WHEN I'M NOT DRIVING, AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN PARK FOR A FEW HOURS. I'M HAVING TO PUT COOLANT IN IT EVERY TWO OR THREE DAYS! I REMOVED THE UNDER-BELLY PANEL AND STILL CANT SEE WHERE IT LEAKING FROM. IT APPEARS TO BE SOMEWHERE NEAR THE WATER PUMP, BUT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE WATER PUMP. THE SPLATTER DID GET ON SOME OF THE HOSES, BELTS, AND A LITTLE ON THE SIDE OF THE PUMP, THAT'S WHY I DON'T THINK ITS THE WATER PUMP. IT WAS OVER HEATING WHEN THE COOLANT WOULD LEAK OUT. AND IT WAS IDLING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN 0 AND 1000 RPMS. I TOOK OUT THE THERMOSTAT THINKING IT MIGHT BE STICKING. THE IDLING AND OVER HEATING STOPPED , BUT THE LEAKING HAS NOT. I HAVE A NEW WATER PUMP THAT I BOUGHT FOR SAFE KEEPING. I JUST MOVED HERE, NO JOB YET, SO I DON'T REALLY WANT TO PAY A MECHANIC TO REPLACE THE PUMP, IF ITS NOT THE PUMP. COULD IT BE A HOSE ISSUE? IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING SIMPLE. PLEASE SEND YOUR KNOWLEDGE! OR JUST GIVE ME SOME IDEAS OR THING TO LIOOK FOR...PLEASE!

I'm going to reply to this thread because it has the picture of the car and not the girl. wipe down suspected areas of the leak, start the car up and let it run a little while with the hood up to see if you can see where it's spraying from. then shut it off and look over the areas you cleaned off.

Sounds like water pump took a crap. Sounds like the seal went and it leaking through the seep hole.
