Ok, say youi're in front of a 95 Civic facing the engine. I got a coolant leak comming from the bottom left side. Right near the pan, or what looks like the pan. It's right next to the pulleys. It's a pretty bad one too. What's down there that coolant can leak from?

If your facing the engine, there arent any pulleys coming from there.... if it was the left id say check your hoses, radiator, etc...

But if its on the pulley side...err....waterpump, and uhh....i dunno cant think of anything else right now

coolant dripping from the oil pan area probably means its coming from somewhere else and running down the engine. You should be able to see by tracing the wetness :thinking:

Did I say left? Woops, I meant right side. It's hard to get pics without the car on jackstands(Which I don't have at the moment). Here's a few of coolant on the oil pan.

Darn. Well I drained the fluid. I'm gonna refill it and get under the car. I hope it's not the water pump. I have never worked on one.
