Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Cars / May 20081995 Dodge Sport Caravan with water problems
Hello Everyone out there! I have a 95 Dodge Sport Caravan 3.0L V6 with 137K on it, I already replaced the water pump and found coolant leaking a lot behind the engine, I couldnt find the leak comes from, any ideas?

Enough years and corrosion (external or internal) and they can resemble swiss cheese. You'd have to take a look with a light (and maybe also a mirror)... The only real problem with finding such a thing and fixing it is when they end up hidden behind exhaust parts or starter motors. Otherwise, you pry them out (with that screwdriver that said "do not use as a prybar"), clean up the hole, and seat the new one by whacking it in (straight!) by hitting the piece of 2x4 you hold on the plug.
