Those suck. Check your timing covers gasket. That blew out on my 97. It sucked

Where is it dripping from? Or are you hearing the waterfall sound?

It's coming from the very front on the passenger side. No sound, I noticed it when I walked out to my jeep to grab my sweatshirt, there was a decent sized puddle on the ground.

happened to me.

i got major service done when the leak was repaired but i ended up getting new hoses and a water pump which did the trick.

If it does end up being the timing cover gasket, def replace the timing chain and sprockets while you are in there, along with the bypass hose and water pump.

Check around your thermostat. My niner leaked a little coolant over the weekend from the front of the engine but on the D/S. I think it may have been because the thermostat bolts were not tight enough, and it was burning off what coolant was leaking once the engine was warm. Is yours leaking when warm or cold?

When was the last time the water pump was done?

**Ricochet88** · 11-02-2009, 07:53 PM

make sure your lower rad hose is tight and check all the clamps first mine loosen up every once in a while

FortCollinsZJ · 11-02-2009, 09:17 PM

My guess is water pump. Napa parts FTW!

If thats the case.

Haleyrz · 11-02-2009, 10:09 PM

Autozone parts FTW! Napa is overpriced.

I had a leak coming from my water pump, but it looked as if the radiator hose was leaking from the top. I replaced it with a new hose and water pump and my leak was fixed. Does your engine fan wobble at all when the engine is running?

FortCollinsZJ · 11-02-2009, 10:38 PM

I buy 90% of my parts from Advance, but parts like fuel pumps, filters, water pumps, anything I dont want to change in the next 100k, I get at Napa. Just better quality IMO.

**sadass** · 11-02-2009, 10:51 PM

Very easy to change the water pump On the 5nine. . Just Make sure you put the little black o-ring in the heater core return line that goes into the pump on the top right. It is easy to tare it when you put the new one in.

I think I found where the leak is coming from. There is a small hose that looks like it's not sealed correctly. I can't find any other leaks anywhere else.
