Nissan Maxima 1995 4th Gen.

Hi Experts,

This is my first post on this forum.
I have a Nissan Maxima 95, It has a coolant leak specially when Car is cool means in morning.
I have recently changed Hose/Water Pump.
Yesterday we did the pressure test there is no leak at all.
There is no sign of loosing power.
Car is getting hot if the coolant is less in radiator and I have to add the coolant in it.once the coolant level is okay car runs like champ.
I can't see where this coolant is leaking but it dripping from the Oil Pen.

Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards

If its dripping off the oil pan, my guess would be either at the thermostat or the water pump.

^^^^^ you are going to have to look at the above items. My suggestion is to remove the right side wheel and the plastic fenderwell piece so you can look.

I'm agreeing with schmelly here because that's where the weep hole drains out at, and it's also in the same area as the thermostat housing.

Did you place the o-rings correctly on the pump during the change, larger ring on the groove next to where the timing chain connects to water pump and smaller ring to the groove on the right of the larger one.
