Mine is in the timing chain cover gasket. You can find your leak by pressure testing your coolant system.
Timing chain cover gasket
yes! i have a 99 chevy mailbu v6 and it was spurting out coolant from that exact thing. cost me $400 at garage.
It can get in through the timing cover. That does car does not have a "timing belt" cover, but it has a "timing chain cover." There is a BIG difference, as a timing belt cover does not have coolant and oil running through it, but a timing chain cover does have both coolant and oil running through it.
Removal of the timing chain cover, timing chain, and head are needed
Check water pump and pump gasket ck freeze plugs on front, and therm housing.
it leaks oil
Head gasket, timing cover gasket, or hose leaking.
No This Doesn`t Seem To Be. Are You Sure You Have A Belt Or Timing Chain ? Only Oil Should Be In The Timing Chain Cover. Suggest You Have Another Mechanic Look At This. Also You Can Get Good Information At A Radiator Shop They Can Pressure Test Your Engine Cooling System. On 87 and later 2.8 and 3.1 V6 engines, coolant runs through the crankcase front cover (timing cover). According to Haynes.
Typically, "timing cover and gasket" refers to timing chain (vice timing belt) equipped vehicles. Timing chains need oil from the engine for lubrication. To make this happen, there is an opening between the timing chain area and the valve camshaft area. The oil the flows into the timing chain area, then down into the oil pan. In order to keep the oil from spraying all over the rest of the engine (and having the engine break down from oil starvation), a metal 'timing cover' is installed over the timing chain and sprockets. Then, a 'gasket,' made of a soft, oil resistant material, goes between the timing chain cover and the engine block to prevent any leaks. The timing cover is bolted to the engine block and the bolts tightened to a specified torque.
chang your gasket
Yes, if there is internal leak.
