I have coolant that is leaking from the passenger side of the motor just below the timing belt even when the car is not running I cant keep fluid in it for mor that 10 minutes. Is this a serios problem or is it a leak coming from somewhere else and migrating in a particular area

Hi there,

Any leak is a potential serious problem, I would get the system pressure tested as this will show up the leak at its point of origin, get this done before you do some engine damage with overheating and low coolant.
