Hi all. I've recently developed a coolant leak. I can't see where it's coming from, but it's coming down behind the oil pan in front of the transmission. Manual if that matters. 173k miles I know nothing of the maintenance history.
It only seems to leak after I've driven it under load. Wouldn't leak after or during idle at operating temp of 183 for ten minutes. My drive to and from work is 7 miles each way. I get up to temp 3 or 4 miles in. Speeds from 25mph to 55mph and I noticed the drips down my driveway and a half quart or so came out after I shut it off.
It has never overheated or gotten above 190 in the few thousand miles Ive put on it. I constantly monitor with the torque app.
I'm still making good heat.
