this morning i noticed coolant on the garage floor. it appears to be coming from the front of the motor, on the bottom. it seems to come from the center, follows a group of wires, drips down onto the front passenger side axle and onto the skid plate and out the drain holes. (hope that all makes sense)
Can not see anything wet from looking from the top, and only where it follows the wires like i explained earlier. No smell when driving or idling. Could this be the water pump starting to leak, or is it something else? How hard, and what is required to change out the waterpump myself, if that is the problem. If it is not, can i make the repair myself, or is it better left to the shop?
Thank you for your input, and God Bless.
