It's not the crank pulley , it's coming from above an leaking down around the crank pulley . It's actually the water pump which is right above the crank pulley .

SOURCE: Where is the button for memory seats in 2005 cadillac cts

If there is not a 1 2 on the door arm above the window switchs then you do not have memory seats.


I have a 04 CTS and is like yours, no memory seats.

SOURCE: coolant leak at crank pulley

it is not the crank pulley it is the water pump above the crank pulley, the coolant runs down and looks like it is from the pulley area.

SOURCE: Replace 2005 Cadillac CTS water pump

drain the coolant.remove belt by rotating belt tensioner cllockwise. water pump pulley will require a holding tool to keep it from turning while removing bolts. access to air ratchet can sometimes eliminate the need to hold but be careful cause thats a good way to skin some knuckles. also make installation more difficult to obtain proper torque. after pulley is off just a few water pupm mounting bolts remain. clean and dry gasket surface very well before reinstalling.

Do I need special tools to change water pump on 2005 cadillac cts

  1. You'll need a tool to release the tension on the serpentine belt and when you need to put the belt back on. Regular standard socket wrenches will suffice for the rest.

Will an idler pulley cause the car to smoke and leak coolant or oil

Not likely. Idler pulleys are only for routing of the serpentine belt. If one of your "pulleys" is leaking coolant its likely the water pump, which also has a pulley on it. The smoke is probably leaking coolant burning off a hot part of the engine or exhaust system.

Coolant leaking from under car when car is running. Did not leak all night while car was off. Just got new radiator

I would think that the coolant leak has nothing to do
with the new radiator or other hoses etc that was involved
in that repair

I would check for a worn out water pump

Have to see where the leak comes from

You know it only leaks under pressure when
car is running

My 2005 cadillac cts leaks coolant when idling for more than a few minutes after it is warm.

Try to add the recommended coolant sealant from the dealer. If this doesn't work then mechanical repair will be required.

For instance, I have a 1997 Cadillac Deville Limousine that I acquired, and it was leaking antifreeze through the o-ring of the water pump. Replacing the water pump was indicated and did so. But, after that the head gasket was leaking as indicated by a miss and fog coming out of the tailpipe. I repaired that problem by adding a $30 can of Bar's Leaks Head Gasket Repair, the kind that doesn't require draining the coolant system. That did the trick, and haven't had a problem since (for 3 months now).

Where is your coolant leaking from? Is the system within normal operating temperature?

Car leaks coolant but does not overheat leaks alot of coolant 2004 cadillac cts

find out where the coolant is leaking from, a minor leak could become a major leak at the wrong time. check your hoses. how much coolant are you having to replace. If you don't see where the water is leaking from try warming the care up or looking for the leak after you car has been driven. Be very careful hot water can cause serious burns.
