Hey all:

I have a coolant leak on my 97 Accord LX between the crankshaft pulley and the oil pan... Here is a picture:



I am hoping that this is just a leaky hose or something like that, but I didn't see anything under first inspection.

Unfortunately, I did change my oil at the same time, and it was a light milky brown, which I know is a sign of a leaky head gasket. I have never had any oil leaks in this area, and I hope that it is running down the block from say, the water pump or something else. I haven't dug in real deep yet...

Any suggestions on where to start the troubleshooting?? I feel like I can change the head gasket if needed, as I have the helms manual, and I have done about 4 honda timing belt changes already.

Thanks in advance

Phil
