Arrgh I'm stuck (i Think)
 

Hey folks,

I seem to have coolant spilling out all over the engine. It's really spectacular in the wrong sort of way. Just seeing if anything screams out at anyone. Here are some pics I found of the problem area. these pics deal with a solenoid which is not the problem I am having.

Generally all the action is happening right next to the solenoids.

Basically there is some sort of a leak right over the those 2 screw heads. It happened just as i pulled into work, so right now I only have superficial knowlege of the issue. My heater has been acting up. It was taking years to warm up and going from hot to cold occasionally. Several times the engine began to over heat then drop back down again.
It isn't a hose or anything like that. But if anyone could at least throw out a suggestion, that would be awesome since putting it in a shop is basically out of the question, right around now. It seems driveable but just barely because of the overheating issue.

I am gonna guess and say the top radiator hose has sprung a leak where it hooks up to the water pump housing.

I second that. Replace, Reclamp, and Clean Engine. Then flush the coolant system.

not much we can tell you honestly if it's not a hose or the water pump itself.
wait till the engine cools off, lift the hood, and start it up. you'll find the leak very quickly.

Alright, it was just a tiny crack in the hose next to, well lets just say MyGreenMax94 was right on the money. Very simple, but too many times I've thought I new what the problem was only to find myself swearing alot later on. Thanks y'all.
