Re: Check Engine Light

Well, where did you check the coolant? At the filler neck or the overflow? The sensor is in the overflow. That light means that you have a low level in the overflow.

Update

Sorry for asking but now shes dripping more. But its not from the water pump its from the passenger side front. Right under the resivor and by the radiator hose on the ground. I might of poured to much in there i filled it up to the lsat mark. The radiator seems full and the resivor hasn't lost any thing either. This thing started dripping after i added more. The lights gone but still whats going on.

Re: Check Engine Light

It could be an air bubble that worked it's way out or the overflow was too full. The over flow cap has a hose on the inside that goes to the bottom. On the top it has an inlet hose. The other hose on the top is for over flow and it simply dumps out to the ground.

Does it only do this after driving it or did you not drive it at all after filling it?

Re: Check Engine Light

Alright, so, I take it that it doesn't continue to leak until the tank is empty again? If not then I'd say that you had an air bubble or over filled. Just keep an eye on the tank for a week and watch the level. If you have to keep adding fluid then you have other issues.
