Coolant leak - front of engine
Greetings MBWorld 190 fans...
My 2.3E 190 with 205K is starting to drop coolant when the engine is running. From what I can see it drips from approximately the right front passenger side of the engine and drips onto the plastic skid pan.
All the hoses on top of the engine are really tight and dry.
It really must be pouring out when on the road as I have to refill the resivor tank about every 5th trip. When I change the oil next weekend Im also going to tighten some of the hoses coming out of the block below the main flywheel but the drip looks to be coming out around this location.
I think I replaced the water pump about 100K ago but it may be the original unit.
Any steer from MB 190 members would be welcome......
