Re: 89' 240 - Coolant leaks

Well, I cleaned off the areas I believe the leaks originate from and tried to start the car. It wants to start like always but just cant hold the pressure Im thinking. Checked plugs and cleaned suspected surfaces. I can see oil crying from the head seal below the 4th plug. I can see the radiator flu...

89' 240 - Coolant leaks

Hello again,

Awhile back I noticed some coolant leaking in 2 places.

-On the top of the water pump where it meets the chamber on top of it.
-The passenger side of the Engine, the rear of the engine behind the 4th spark plug a bit below it.

Pretty frequent now. Im basically "spotting"

Hello, 240 89' Defrost Vents up in the front seemed to be blowing from either ends of each vent, but i do not feel air from the center of each vent.

The battery seemed strong for its described condition and even rolled the power window up and down that day. I had to leave it for a day being I work wi...
