Hey, thanks very much for taking the time to write this!
Tonight I went to buy a powerful flashlight and opened the hood right after coming back from work and pulling into the garage. And well...I think I found where the coolant is.
I didn't check the fluids yet but last time I looked at the oil, it had the right color.
Is the water pump that thing that is at the top, right behind the radiator's big fan?
There seems to be some green mold on the left side of it. There's a really big hose on the left and a very big one that goes to the radiator, but near the big one on the left there is also some kind of hole with no hose, looks like some kind of bolt in there and it looks like the green mold is coming from there. Right in the center of the engine block, under everything else (so I assume right between the cylinders and directly under the engine block) there is a metal beam and a lot of green liquid is resting on there. I guess it runs down from there when I am driving.
Sooo....does it look like it's the water pump that needs to be replaced?
However, that's not the only place where I've found some green. There is also a little bit on the left side; right at the foot of the battery and on a connector on a cable running from the battery. I am not sure how it got there. Maybe the coolant falls on a belt somewhere and gets thrown around, or maybe ahose is messed up in that area, hard to tell. One looks a bit weird but I cannot really explain where it's located. To the left, close to one of the pullies that carry one of the belts...
Also, right behind the water pump (if it really is the water pump), and a bit below, there is a very big pipe or hose connected, that goes right below the engine block, and the connector is very corroded and messed up.
Darn...
