• 95 jeep grand cherokee coolant leak

    From Manny@21:1/5 to All on Thu Sep 22 20:18:00 2016
    Hey I have a 95 jeep grand cherokee that has engine coolant leak between the water pump and oil pan. When I get down to observe it it looks like its
    leaking from the oil pan gasket. I also checked to see if there was any
    coolant in the oil. There is none. Another note is it drips only when I turn
    it on and after a drive. The previous owner said they replaced pump. What am I missing here?

    6 or 8?

    If it's an 8 there are water passages on each side that go through the
    timing cover. If the timing cover gasket starts to go it can give the
    symptoms you describe. If that's what's happening it's a good idea to
    fix it sooner rather than later because when it finally does let go it
    will be a substantial leak that can drain the cooling system in a few
    miles.

    If you're repairing it yourself it's a cheap part but you have to pull
    just about everything off the front of the engine to get to it. If
    you're having it done there's a lot of labor in pulling all those pieces
    off and putting them back on.
