My 95 5-speed just recently started sounding like I have an exhaust leak near the pass. side manifold....and tonight, when I shut the car off, I heard a hissing noise coming from the area of the engine that is near the front passenger side wheel/hub. This noise, I found, was a leak in the coolant system. It was losing pressure and spraying some coolant around. The coolant was sprayed onto the splash guard behind the tire and also on the sway bar, etc etc. I am not sure if there is any hose or coolant line that is in this area--anyone know?
I do believe that it has an exhaust leak, because the car is lowered, and it did drag the underside pretty hard the other day when leaving a steeper driveway. I have not yet had the chance to get under the car, but hopefully I will get under it tomorrow. At last check, I found no coolant in my oil, and the car starts fine, runs normally, and accellerates normally. The first indication I had of a coolant issue was when the low coolant light came on today. The temp has never gotten into the red on this car as long as I have owned it. Any thoughts?
