Re: Coolant Leak HELP

My car had a coolant leak, caused by oil from leaking valve covers dripping onto a joint in the coolant hose, making it swell and leak. But this was a slow leak, like a few drips everytime I parked. it was ~$250 to fix at tunedub.

hmm i guess it's not too bad, lets gope i wont have to pay any more then that lol, because i'm getting a bunch of things done tomorrow at tunedub and with this on the list im looking at 1k to get er ready for winter

Hey guys,

I was at my parents place yesterday, left my car parked for 6-7hrs and left. My parents called me saying I left a stain on their driveway the size of a pizza...wtf lol, so this morning when i came to work, I parked my car in a parkade where i usually park it, went back and checked at noon (car's been sitting since 7.20 AM this morning). At first i thought it was oil but it isn't, when i had backed up my car i saw a leak on the passenger side, looks yellow...only thing that's yellow is my coolant, I'm sure one of us here must of had this problem before. Should I be worried about the bill? Any idea what it could be? i'm thinking a hose or something because my water pump was replaced 40k ago. And i'm really hoping it's not the headgasket. Car currently has 153k on it.

Checked the oil dip stick, oil seems fine,
Checked the coolant and it's a half, which is normal...
