Coolant leak
 

92 190e 2.6
Found coolant under car in the morning. Checked reservoir and was fine. Drove a few miles and parked then started to smell the burning coolant. Looked under car and saw the coolant dripping from the oil pan (several dripps). I looked at the pump and hoses but could not see where it was coming from.
Engine is not over heating and I could drive it but problem may get worse...

Seems to be comming from the right side under the water pump. I have never done the pump before but looking at the coolant layout I did not see any thing on that side near the pump that would be the leaking other than the pump if the the hoses are good (still checking).

The pump has 4 connections that I can tell. The bypass, the radiator in and out and the fourth I am not sure but does it come from the heater core?

Anyone know of a write up on replacing the pump? might could use it if it comes to this or I am taking it to a shop since I am out of town with very little tools. http://190rev.net/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif

You need to have the cooling system pressure tested, to verify it is not a hose, gasket or corroded housing.
