Ok, heres my pictures of my new Z31, I payed a Grand for it, And I think she looks pretty good... she started a coolant leak I cant figure out where came from the night I got her... thats progressivly gotten worse, and I have no idea where its comming from, but I really wanna find out. So heres some pictures... and questions I have about some engine components... And Id appreciate any and all comments about the car, think it was worth what I payed for it? Oh, and sorry about the low quality pics, but I took them with my phone.
Sorry I didnt put the hood down... I dont have working lifts, so Im using an umbrella to keep the hood open. (Only thing I could find with rounded out ends that wouldent scratch anything.)
The engine... And my questions....
This is an upside down photo of where everything seems to be draining to. At least my little bucket catches all the coolant nicely from here....
Oil leak anyone? What could this be caused from?
This is where most of the coolant leaking from the front of the engine is dripping down to, but as youll see below on the thing that I dont know what is, that I ask what is... Object A... Its also covered in coolant.
Whats this??? Its like, right infront of the tranny, on the passanger side, beside the oil pan.
I tried to light it as well as I could, so thats the starter? so then whats that thing on the rear of the engine thats covered in oil? Hmmm... if my starters covered in coolant too.... Geeze... this gets weirder and weirder.
Do these cars have fan motors? Cause I hear... I think thats what I hear running sometimes when the car is off? But the big main fan isent spinning, what does that mean? And thats not exactly right on the engine... so I didnt really think it could be a starter....

Its the fan the runs to cool off the injectors after the car has been turned off
You mean that plastic thing that comes out into between the valve covers cools my injectors? Brilliant! lol... So If I upgrade that cooling system I can make the car even more efficient... So far, I think this car needs cooling work, is that something most people do? Try to make the engines more heat efficient? I cant believe the exaust wraps around the rear of the engine, thats gotta heat it up like crazy, I wanna get headers and run it down. Is that common?
the water is most likly coming from your water pump... before the water pump goes out they have a weep hole that spews water out when the water pump is on its last few days.. so id have that checked out.
Im not positive where its comming from exactly, Im trying to get my spark plugs out, and change my oil, so I feel better about starting the car when I start putting water in it, You know, one repair at a time? I dont know when the last time any of the stuff this was changed was, and I dont want to risk the engine runnning it with old oil for too long.
