Keep looking

 

:-( i was hopin for more of a solid answer... im still looking!

 

How much of a leak is it? It could be your water pump, but it's hard to say based on your description. I had a bad leak there and had to get the water pump replaced. See this: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=446663

 

would it be easier to change the water pump if i took the engine off the motor mount on the pass side and kinda jack it up a lil

 

That's how the chilton book says to do it.

 

thats the only way to do it. change your timing chain tensioner while your at it.

although if it was your water pump i dont think it would be leaking so far up front. when my pump went it leaked in the back of my oil pan away from the rad. i think thats because theres a weep hole right on the side of the block.

 

Fixed... .
