No This Doesn`t Seem To Be. Are You Sure You Have A Belt Or Timing Chain ? Only Oil Should Be In The Timing Chain Cover. Suggest You Have Another Mechanic Look At This. Also You Can Get Good Information At A Radiator Shop They Can Pressure Test Your Engine Cooling System.
On 87 and later 2.8 and 3.1 V6 engines, coolant runs through the crankcase front cover (timing cover). According to Haynes.
