Where does the coolant leak from & how to replace fog light

[Mike_EX]

I have been getting occasional coolant leaks showing from my 2000 Montana. The leaks appear to be coming from the rear of the engine, not the front. It only shows up in my slightly uphill driveway. I don't see any leakage on a flat surface except after a long highway trip. Is this the infamous gasket leak problem? or is there a hose in the rear of the engine which might be a bit leaky.

Also, how does one replace the fog lamp. I'd like to have some idea before Crawling under the car and tearing things up. Thanks.

When I replaced the foglight, there were 2 screws underneath the shround that covers the light, pull the shroud back, and reach up to the light, twist the light off, then pull the light out by pulling back the tab, and puling the light out, just keep in mind that it is halogen, and use a pair of gloves, surgical or mechanical, so you dont burn the light out.

I don't know about your coolant leak but the fog light is changed from the under the van by working by the wheel well. Like Kfazzina says remove the two screws and pull back the plastic shroud. remove the old blub. When replacing the new bulb do not touch the bulb with your fingers the oils from your skin will severly lessen the life of the bulb. Use latex gloves or even a cotton sock over your hand when touching the bulb.
Good luck.

Look @ posts on this site for intake manifold leak. That would be my bet on the coolant leak.
