You have a blown head gasket. Fix it quick. answer blown head gasket might be the right call, but i would do some additional checks to be certain. for example, is there coolant in your oil? check the dip stick to see if the color of the oil is okay or does it look like creamy coffee? a blown head gasket usually leads to water in the oil. during a recent oil change i noticed coolant dripping off my oil pan. after a quick pressure test of the cooling system it was determined that the leak was actually coming from the waterpump. point is, while it could very well be a head gasket, it could also be something much simpler as well. NEW ANSWER: There are 2 freeze plugs in the back of the engine block where the fly-wheel is, They are probley leaking coolant if coolant is coming out of the bell housing. NEUTZ.
I had the same problem with my 5.9L and it was the timing chain housing leaking antifreeze. It could also be a freeze plug maybe but that is rare. Hope this helps
It could be that your transmission housing is leaking. You will probably find oil underneath the machine as well.
The antifreeze, transmission, and power steering all use red fluids. It could be either.
Yes, antifreeze can leak from a water pump gasket.
Passenger side floor? Could be leaking heater core
It depends on if you see the antifreeze leaking or it is just disappearing. If it is just disappearing then a bad head gasket or cracked head may be the problem. The smoking could actually be vaporized antifreeze. If that is the case don't run it until you can get it fixed.
There are several reason why a car might lose antifreeze. The water pump might be bad, one of the radiator hoses could be leaking, the radiator could have a leak, a freeze plug could be leaking, or it could have a blown head gasket.
Could be steering rack Could be transmission seal Could be power steering pump Turns out it was the water pump leaking the newer pink antifreeze that had separated from the water, but gotta tell ya I had not thought of the tranny seal. Thanks a bunch.
you might have a blown head gasket and the coolant is leaking into the cylender and the engine is burning it.
Could be the intake manifold gaskets are leaking.
Head gasket could be bad
try the cool line fitting from the radiator to the transmission i just had that problem on a 1994 mercury Sometimes you can leak out of the tailhousing of your transmission if the housing seal is slightly damaged
