dropping in to say hello as a new member! I have a question that maybe someone could assist with. I have had some cooling system issues. Thought it was rectifyed with new radiator...not! My explorer is a 92 4X4 manual tranny...she has 178,000 miles on her. Since she was "fixed" I still smell antifreeze and my temp guage fluctuates. (new thermostat). Anyway I climbed underneath the other day and found a small drip coming from what I believe is the heater hose to the water pump. The hose connection there is also swollen. So, I took it to the mechanic who claimes that the leak is coming from the timing cover. Is this possible? I am female and know a little about cars but not enough to answer this question. There is no water in my oil (no milk shake). This all started when I had the system flushed and nothing but BLACK SLIME came out. Then I lost heat altogether. The heater core does not appear to be leaking. No wet carpet, etc. Is there anyone out there that can toubleshoot from my description before I spen A LOT of money to fix my baby? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
