[V6-12v] Coolant Leak 12 valve 2.8 liter

[Craig D. Niederst]

Did you replace the pressure cap on the coolant reservoir? That was causing
a leak on my '92 100S. Would blow off some coolant, but would drain and dry
before it could be detected.

> I have had a coolant leak on and off for about a year.  Now it is steadily
losing coolant and I can't find the leak.  It's not going into the crankcase
and doesn't appear to be leaking at the o-ring connection at the rear of the
cylinder head.  I replaced the reservoir (which was cracked) and replaced
the timing belt and water pump two years a go.  Anyone have a similar leak
on their 12V-V6?  Could possibly be leaking at the water pump but the front
of the engine is dry.  I have 157k miles on my '93 100QWCS.

seeping as well.  I am planning on tackling this job soon so may find it
once I begin dismantling the engine.  Need to purchase a few more tools
first.
