Hi-
My '88 900S just started slowly losing coolant recently. I was underneath it last night and noticed some coolant drops from the back of the tranny (firewall side) and assume it's coming from the front of the engine (belts/pulley/waterpump side)
Is there a way to pressurize the system so that I can track this? Just a few miles ago I did a new front main seal, harmonic balancer, belts, etc and I really hope I don't have to tear into there again to look around... i did NOT replace the water pump as it looked/felt very good and was as solid as can be. I also recently replaced the rad as the car was running hot at highway speeds and a new thermostat and cooler fan switch didn't help. Turns out the rad was toast...
How do I find this leak??
Thanks-
