1996 Contour started blowing antifreeze
My 1996 Contour started blowing antifreeze this morning on my way to work. It appeared to be coming from the pulley end of the engine - I had the car towed home and will be looking at this afternoon.
Where should I start with troubleshooting? What could be the possible scenarios?

Water Pump, might as well change timing belt while your at it.
ReplyDeleteAfter checking all the 'easy' stuff - hoses, tank, etc., it does indeed appear to be, as suggested, the water pump.

> Thanks also for the recommendation to change the timing belt. I will definitely do that.
Finally had time to get into this job. Replaced the water pump and timing belt. The Contour is running again.
