Being a new owner, I felt it necessary to clean up the engine bay. After getting it spotless, I noticed a leak in the rear where the oil pan meets the block. I originally thought it was a rear main seal but the color of the fluid was anti freeze. Tracing it back to the origin it appeared to be coming from the front upper part of the engine. Other than the heater pipe outlet and thermostat housing, which are not leaking, I don't know of any other water source other than the water pump? A long explanation to ask a couple of basic questions:
1. Are their any other sources?
2. Do I have to remove the fan and the hood to remove the radiator or does it lift straight up?
3. What is the trick to getting at the fan bolts?
4. My fan doesn't spin freely when pushed with the engine off. I thought the viscous drive was supposed to spin freely until the got up to a temp where it would engage and be driven?
