Had a customer bring his car over last night to my house with a major
coolant leak ..... and didnt see any freeze plugs leaking that would be
obvious.

This isnt a trickle ... this is a flow of water draining down from the rear
back motor mount on the back side of the motor mount  ..... heater core
hoses are ok .... and i asked our techs .. that if the heater core goes it
can actually drain out of the a/c drain line ..... the coolant .. which i
have never heard of ... and would like to confirm this .... but the location
of the leak ... would confirm this .. since its so far back of the motor ...
and to the far right side.

I thought of a water pump .... but the leak is to massive .. and cant see
the coolant coming from the water pump ..coming down the rear right motor
mount.

I thought of a head gasket ... near a water jacket ... or what our tech said
here ...

Any other suggestions ?
