Morning!

I have the sloshing sound when driving so I've been filling the radiator and watching small puddles appear on the driveway the next morning. Car doesn't overheat, but doesn't seem to hold enough coolant. SO I crawl under there yesterday and see the back of the power steering pump is wet. It's not PS fluid.

Any ideas where it could be coming from?

ALSO, I think it's the PS pump. It's the furthest pulley (close to firewall) about the same level as the rear manifold. Things are cramped back there, but that's what it looks like to me.

Check the hose connections for the coolant recovery tank, but most likely the water pump is weeping coolant.

You're probably correct. So, just a heads up, I picked up a bottle of K-Seal because I'm not looking to replace the water pump, knowing that liquid sealants don't often work. I gave it a whirl and IT ABSOLUTELY WORKED.

WIN.
