My F-150 truck has this water leak coming from the back of the engine, spraying onto the firewall then down. I can't physically see where its coming from, any ideas?
Thanks,

Hello, thank you all for your responses. It is leaking coolant from the rear part of the engine. My coolant is real rusty color?
Thanks,

Hi there,

You will have to get the cooling system pressure tested, this will locate any external leaks, inspect rear of engine and head with a mirror and a good light, check heater hoses, if any hose feels hard or is swollen, replace them, start here.
