Subject:Intermittent coolant leak
From:John Lauterbach

I have an intermittent coolant leak in my '84 1.9L.  It looks like it may be
coming from the water pump pulley or the thermostat housing.  I cannot tell
for sure as the only thing that I can see now that I have the A/C compressor
installed is coolant dripping down over the oil filter.  Last night I put in
some Bars Leak and more coolant after my van peed over the parking lot at
work.  No leak overnight.  This morning it peed again at work.  I have had
it in the driveway for over three hours since coming home from work.  No
leak.  All hoses are new.

Are there any short term fixes if I have a leak at the water pump pulley?
