Just noticed as I was driving my Max home from work, radiator fliud leaking from bottom of the car. So I got it down the street and parked it at home and looked under the hood to find radiator fluid leaking from under the engine right between the front of the oil pan and the compressor. I checked all hoses and no breaks. Just streaming from this area in between the air conditioning compressor and the front lip of the oil pan. IS this where my water pump is? Help please. I am selling this car and need to get tbis fixed ASAP. Easter

Alright guys. Don't hate on the old 95 Max SE. I know it has some outdated looks, but I like it and it gets tons of compliments here in town. (The fender flares used to be 14 karat gold with gold emblems.) For each its own right? This ain't no flaming topic. Someone should start a new thread only for people that like to flame. But back to the topic of the radiator fliud. No it is not AC fluid. It is definitely radiator fliud. "Mechanicaljoint" said it is the water pump. With 271,000 miles, this is probably one part of the car THAT I HAVEN"T REPLACED. 5 hr job huh. I got 5 hrs. But I wonder how difficult it is.

I seen the manual for repairing the water pump and it does not look like a fun job at all. Good luck with it.

Yep it sound like the water pump if it's leaking from that area. Your biggest problem I assume you will run into is removing the crankshaft damper bolt. That ***** is a ma****a to remove, in any sense good luck with it...
