    Coolant leak off of oil filter housing.

    My coolant has been disappearing randomly for the last couple weeks. I finally got a chance to get it on the lift and check it out, the only thing I can see is a drip off of the oil filter housing. I checked it out from above the car but cannot see a leak. I am guessing it's coming from the main coolant line that goes from the radiator down beside the drivers side of the engine. I am not sure, its just a guess because that's the only coolant line I can see above the area of the suspected leak. Does anyone know where this could be coming from?

    Replace your oil cooler. If you want to test it, pull the oil cooler off and plug the holes and slowly blow (shop) air through it.

    Maybe a leaky water pump gasket? When my thermostat o-ring was leaking, it was dripping onto the oil pan itself.
