I have a mystery leak on my 1999 Ford Taurus 3.0 V6 Vulcan (U-vin) engine. The leak is coming from the engine area behind the water pump. It's certainly NOT the water pump itself. I recently changed it and it has a solid water pump gasket seal and not leaking. The coolant is eminating from the area BEHIND the water pump (against engine but between water pump block housing and engine block itself. Could you please advise as to whether or not there is a gasket in this very location or a possible freeze plug? Thank you so much!
