Hello All,

I am having a serious coolant leak problem, the radiator is half empty before i go off to work everymorning, the car gets driven a grand total of like 6 miles a day!! It wasnt always like this at first i would have to fill the radiator about every week, then every three days, now its everyday. At first i couldnt tell where the leak was coming from, checked all the hoses, checked the radiator, couldnt see any telltale signs of leaking, then today, i saw massive amounts of coolant dripping from the engine to the ground. When i lifted the hood there was a whispering sounds, like vapors escaping, just before i pulled to the house the temp gauge was about to go to red then it went back to normal, as if the thermostat just opened, i felt the upper radiator hose and it was hot so the coolant definately came out, i'm guessing the due to the air trapped in the system due to coolant loss it took a while for the therm. to open, when the radiator is filled, it doesnt do this, it seems to cool normally and doesnt go to the red, its on the way back home when its had time to drain that it goes near red. I tried to shake the waterpump pulley but couldnt really feel any play in the shaft, my first guess is that its leaking from the waterpump but i'm not sure that have the radiator coolant can leak through the weep hole. I checked the oil and it didnt look choco milkshake like and when i start the car in the morning there is a good amount of white smoke but it stops after a block of driving and doesnt increase under acceleration.

i think that is about all i can say, sorry for being soo long winded in my post, just wanted to make sure i give as accurate a description as possible. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. and i have a 1993 t-bird lx 3.8L with 109k on the clock
