Hey guys, Ive tried researching coolant leaks on the 3.6 and I can't find any definitive. My car has about 85000 miles on it. Last summer I noticed the coolant level was slowly dropping and could smell it when I parked the car. I noticed the passenger side control arm looked wet and once and awhile a small drop on the ground under it.
I changed the water pump, not really all that hard, and I still had the coolant smell and slowly dropping level. I took the water pump off and resealed it and reinstalled it, still same issue. I then took off the top radiator hose coupling and sealed that as it only has a couple of O-rings in it. Still not fixed,
Today while looking around I noticed coolant on the drivers side below the reservoir. I can see what I think is the rear head gasket looking wet, like it is seeping. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there an easy fix or do I need to pull the head?
Thanks for reading and for any help.
