I just got in my car, started it, and backed up a little to see if I had fixed my leaky oil-pan.

There was a little patch of stuff on the ground, so i checked my oil, and then looked under the car; to my surprise, there's now coolant dripping (like one drip every second or two).

It's dripping off of the front drivers side corner of the oil-pan, so I'm thinking my water pump (which is located above there......right??) is busted/leaking/something and is dripping down.

Would this be a reasonable explanation? Any tips, help, input, anything is huuugggeeelllyyyyy appreciated!

Thanks in advance guys! sorry if any clarification is needed!

 

Which car? 4 cyl? or the V-6?

 

mine is doing the same thing 94 accord lx, fucked up thing is i just it done and the douche bag mechanic either put the belt on too tight or the pump was a bad one from napa now i gotta spend money to re do it again. Anyway so far mine is a slow leak oozing onto the oil pan sooner or later it's gonna fail.

 

Which Accord is it? Model/ Year

If its either of the 91s, im guessing you have 100k Plus on em, and it would be time for a new water pump and timing belt ....

 

it's my 91 EX, which has about 185,xxx kilometers on it (so about 120,xxx miles) and i have NO idea when the water pump or timing belt were last replaced.

Right now, my plan is to take it in and have a full timing belt and water pump job done.

I'm debating whether i wanna drive to the shop, which is fairly close.

Jmumblez, im guessing that your car has/had something similar to mine, and yours was still driveable?

thanks for the input guys!
