Why does water or coolant leak from between the motor and transmission on a 1995 3.8 wind-star engine?

coolant leak between motor and transmission indicates you have a leaky freeze plug in the rear of the engine block

Will your 98 ford windstar start if it has a blown head gasket?
Probably, unless a cylinder has filled with engine coolant. In any case it is not a good idea to run an engine in that condition, if coolant mixes with the motor oil you can expect more damage to the engine.
Smoke from car?
The color of the smoke will help identify the problem. Blue smoke is engine or transmission oil. Black smoke, excess fuel. White smoke, engine coolant.
How would tranny oil get into your radiator?
Many automatic transmissions use a cooler inside the vehicles radiator to help maintain the transmissions temperature. The transmission pumps ATF thru the cooler. If a leak occurs in the trans cooler the ATF is pumped into the radiators coolant. The engine coolant can also mix with the trans ATF and enter the transmission the same way in which case would be fatal for the transmission.
How many gallons of antifreeze does a Silverado hold?
You didn't mention what year or engine it has but it if the cooling system is void of all coolant, it should hold between 14 to 16 qts of coolant.
How much coolant does a 96 Acura Integra engine hold?
I don't know about just the engine but the complete cooling system including the engine , radiator, heater and all hoses holds aprox 5 qts. Some with standard transmission take a little less.
There is rust color in your overflow engine coolant container of your ford windstar what could this be?
Transmission fluid, if you have a bad radiator.
Is transmission fluid the same as coolant?
No. Transmission fluid lubricates the transmission. Coolant is used by the radiator to cool the engine.
Will a transmission from a 1998 Ford Windstar fit a 1995 Ford Windstar?
I am looking around to replace the transmission on my 1995 Ford Windstar and the information that I received from several different mechanics is that the 1995 Windstar transmission is a "one year" transmission so you pretty much have to get a 1995 transmission for a 1995 windstar engine. I'm no mechanic and really have no idea but this is just what I've been told... someone out!
What if your 1992 Chevy silverado is leaking engine coolant from the top of the engine just below the distrubutor what is leaking?
There is a heater hose that goes to the left rear top side of the intake manifold and that fitting leaks engine coolant sometimes and it will run down the back of the intake around the distributor. If that fitting is not leaking then the intake manifold gasket is leaking coolant in the corners of it. REplace the intake gasket. That's all that can leak coolant on that year engine. If coolant is leaking out between the transmission and engine block then you have a freeze plug leaking in the back of the engine, between the transmission and block. Must remove the transmission and flywheel to fix it.
Where is the coolant overflow tank on a 2003 Ford Wind star?
In a 2003 Ford Windstar the engine coolant reservoir is in the engine compartment ( on the passenger side , it's the reservoir in the middle )
Does the Ford Windstar transmission come out the top or out the bottom for the removal of the transmission?
The Windstar transmission comes out the bottom. Support brackets are used to 'hang' the engine from the top in order to take the trans out. Ambitious project, but certainly doable.
What could cause coolant to pour from the back of the Jeep engine I6?
Freeze plug at the rear of the motor. Between the transmission and the motor.
There's a coolant leak at the back of the engine in my 92 topaz is this a common problem and is this expensive to fix?
could be core plugs between engine and transmission(freeze plugs)
Why is 1994 Ford Escort transmission fluid grey?
Coolant from radiator? Run engine to normal operating temperature -remove transmission dipstick and let a drop fall on hot part of engine, oil will "smoke" coolant will "sizzle" If so a bad radiator allow transmission fluid from cooler lines to get mixed with engine coolant
Where is the bleeder screw on a 2002 ford windstar?
The "bleeder screws" that come to mind are:Brake bleed - found at each wheel caliper / wheel cylinderEngine coolant - NOT found on a Windstar engine. Cooling system bleeding/burping is basically through just running the engine with the coolant reservoir cap off.
Can the engine coolant contaminate the transmission on a 1999 Toyota four runner?
Yes. The transmission fluid is cooled by a separate set of cooling lines in the radiator that cools your engine. If the radiator has an internal leak, cross-contamination may indeed occur. Only a little amount of engine coolant in your transmission can cause a transmission malfunction.
Will your 98 ford windstar start if it has a blown head gasket?
Probably, unless a cylinder has filled with engine coolant. In any case it is not a good idea to run an engine in that condition, if coolant mixes with the motor oil you can expect more damage to the engine.
