Coolant leak?

[Trefty]

Hey, not sure if anyone can help on this but here goes. My dad's 94 3.0L Aerostar is looking coolant and it appears to be leaking behind the lower bracket where the AC clutch pulley is attached. It's hard to see how far up or over it's leaking but it's definitely dripping from that area. Could there be a frost plug behind the bracket? Were gonna start ripping stuff off it tommorow to try to track it down but wanted to see if anyone has run into this problem before. Thanks.

Use a cooling system pressure tester to locate the leak before you take any parts off. I had a similar leak on my 89, and it turned out that it was the water pump gasket. That gasket only lasted a few months until it failed.
