st170 coolant leak
Hello
just bought an st170 this afternoon. i checked it out from top to bottom. ran perfectly well and heaters and everything worked.
got about 25miles down the road and the oil temp started to climb, closely followed by the water temp.
got it pulled into the services a mile later.
water absolutley pissing out. it seems to be coming from the back drivers side of the engine. as far away from view or access. is the water pump located here?
feeling about under a wet car on a wet road i think i could feel a hose that has a metal 90 degree fitting that goes into this area, just above the plastic cover. the fitting felt pretty crusty so i'm hoping its this and not a water pump or worse still a cracked block.
does anybody have any experience with this engine or problem from an st170?
