Car Forum / GMC Cars / December 2004cant find 2.2 leak source
91 cavalier is leaking a cup full of coolant after each run. its clear green and runs out the hole in the angled brace on the passenger side under the oil filter,how screwed am I? I wanted to find the source before taking it in but its obscured and there is no trace of coolant on top where I can see thank you in advance There is a freeze plug in that area, coolant will track. Where you see the coolant, there are no water jackets at that part of the block. > 91 cavalier is leaking a cup full of coolant after each run. > its clear green and runs out the hole in the angled brace > on the passenger side under the oil filter,how screwed am I? > I wanted to find the source before taking it in but its obscured > and there is no trace of coolant on top where I can see > thank you in advance I would bet its the water pump. Not too big of a fix, and fairly cheap. I have put a couple in, and they are relatively easy. tad > 91 cavalier is leaking a cup full of coolant after each run. > its clear green and runs out the hole in the angled brace > on the passenger side under the oil filter,how screwed am I? > I wanted to find the source before taking it in but its obscured > and there is no trace of coolant on top where I can see > thank you in advance > I would bet its the water pump.

I saw another post that mentioned a bypass in that area.. >> 91 cavalier is leaking a cup full of coolant after each run. >> its clear green and runs out the hole in the angled brace >> on the passenger side under the oil filter,how screwed am I? >> I wanted to find the source before taking it in but its obscured >> and there is no trace of coolant on top where I can see >> thank you in advance > 91 cavalier is leaking a cup full of coolant after each run. > its clear green and runs out the hole in the angled brace > on the passenger side under the oil filter,how screwed am I? > I wanted to find the source before taking it in but its obscured > and there is no trace of coolant on top where I can see > thank you in advance I had a 90 Cavalier with this engine. A great little engine with one annoying flaw, a tendency for blowing head gaskets. Mine went at 72,000 miles. In the weeks prior it acted something like this. My 94 cavilier went 179K before it's head gasket went.  SignatureMark > >> 91 cavalier is leaking a cup full of coolant after each run.
