One tank is for windshield solvent. The other is for the engine coolant. You need to pull the engine coolant tank and make it isn't cracked. Once out, you'll see the crack if it leaks bad enough. Even small cracks are easy to see. replace it necessary. Check the coolant line/s going to it also.

SOURCE: wife,s 97 buick skylark, 2.4 L., leaking water. need help!!!

I had the same problem a month ago. I thought it was the thermostat, which sits inside the lower water feed tube that runs from the radiator, under the car and up between the engine and trans axle to the thermostat housing and water-inlet housing attached to the water pump. I replaced it and it kept leaking. So I got under the car with a mirror and a light and found that it was leaking from a weep hole in the water pump. This happens when the water pump seal is bad. to replace the water pump you nearly have to take apart the back of the engine and the timing chain cover. The waterpump is mounted at the bottom of the back of the engine and is turned by the timimng chain. It took me two days to fix, and it was not easy. There are a couple of sites that have info, which helped me. It's about a $600 - $900 job if you take it to a repair shop.

SOURCE: I have a water leak on my 96 camaro. It has a 3.8

It is your Lower Imtake Manifold gasket (LIM). Late Production Camaros and Firebirds used Dex-Cool coolant which nortoriously caused the LMI to actually disintegrate. The failure of the LIM allows coolant to leak to the exterior of the engine as well as into the interior of the engine eventually getting into your oil. Check your oil for a brown milky color... if you have it immediately drive your car to you favorite repair shop and replace the LIM gasket. The GM 3.1L, 3.4L and 3.8L engines are famous for disintegrated LIM gaskets and a good shop will have replaced 30-50 of these in a year. The LMI is part of the reason the public dissed Pontiac and eventually led to its demise (not to mention bad management at GM). Find a shop familiar with the LIM problem and it shouldn't cost more than $500 to replace (or less). If you have any mechanical skill you can replace it yourself... the gasket kit costs about $35 at NAPA AutoParts and it takes a whole Saturday if it's your first time. I just finished replacing the LMI on my wife's '94 Firebird.

SOURCE: my car is leaking from

That is the timing cover gasket. The coolant goes through the timing cover into the block and there is a gasket between the two, and it is a common problem on the taurus.

I have a 1992 Honda Accord and whenever it rains, water leak through the speaker on the passenger side door and make a big puddle on the floor. Also the water leaks into a hole in the floor by the ECU

Not comming from the speaker! Make sure that the rubber door trim aound the door is intact and not damaged. Additionally, check the rubber seal on the outside of the window where it retracts into the door. These are the only 2 ways that water can enter through the passenger door.

I have water coming into the car passenger side from looks like heating system

the heater core is leaking..you can try some of the stop leak liquid that you buy at your local parts place if its a small leak..if its a big leak you should try to replace the heater core or at least by pass it. when this happened to mine it caused a few electrical problems from the drivers side floor being wet. the heater core is located under the dash in the center...wasn;t a fun project...

2003 mits galant, water drianing heavily on the passenger side floor board

That sounds like water leaking from your over flow tank? Is it coming from the area behind the glove box on the passenger side? If so, open the hood and take a look at the over flow tank. Is there any fluid in it? Is the hose going to the over flow tank healthy and without holes? Has it come unclipped or unfastened from the over flow tank? Has the tank itself cracked? Is your car over heating? You could have problems with your heater core. Is the water that is leaking hot? If your car is not registering as hot or over heating, and water is being sent to the over flow tank (because it is over heating) which is leaking or the hose has failed ect - then I would also suggest checking your thermostat to figure out why it is not registering the vehicle as hot?

Water leaking into the car on the passenger side

That would be a bad heater core. You will see water leaking from the passengers side floor board. This is a complicated job to do as a do it yourself being the heater core is located behind the dash.

Where is the fuel filter located on a 2004 mercury mountaineer

Hello, 2004 Mercury Mountaineer fuel filter is located in front and on top of fuel tank behind two shields. This is for 4.0L 2 wheel drive. When you look just behind the front passenger side tire you will see the first shield. Behind that is the second.

Thanks

Just had radiator replaced, leak has developed around housing/gasket of hose running to passenger side just to side of engine and slightly behind. My mechanic doesn't know what the part is we are looking...

is it actually on the engine? I ask because you say it is to the passenger side and just behind the engine, that makes me think it is a heater hose, the heater hoses go from the water pump to the heater core which is located on the passenger side, the difference between heater hoses and radiator hoses is the size and of course location, heater hoses are generally about 1/2 inch to 1 inch, with radiator hoses being between 1 3/4 and 3 inches

Cant find drain plug for radiator? can you tell me what to look for or what it looks like?

Look near the front of the passenger side wheel well. You'll find the drain **** there.

There's a draincock down at the bottom. Open it up and drain the radiator. What I like to do next is remove the t-stat and replace waterneck. Now fill radiator with water (actually fill degas bottle) and run engine with upper hose removed at radiator. Flush until only clean clear water comes out of hose. Drain radiator, replace t-stat, fill radiator with coolant and you're done.

Hope helped with this; remember rated this help. Good luck.

Gas leaking from on top of the tank

In the 03, the bottom of the back seat has two (2) spring hooks about 12 or so inches from the side (looks like this, o= hook _= front of seat bottom), (_o____o_). Just pull up on each one and the seat bottom will come up and out/forward. The seat back has a couple of bolts that you will see once you remove the seat bottom. Remove bolt(s) and slide the seat back to the outside. There are two (2) "windows" to the tank. One on driver's side that will be visible when you remove the seat bottom (and pull back the carpet and insulation, and one behind the seat-back on the passenger's side (this is where the fuel pump, et. al. is/are. Driver's side is just the second float. There is a wire and hose that connects the two floats, so you may want to disconnect the battery to avoid any electrical current in the tank.
