Hi:
I can't tell you if it's safe because I don't know where the leak is. What sound did you origionally hear and try to describe the sound now, where it's coming from... If you have a rough running problem, you may want to have the computer scanned at a nationally recognized parts store for trouble codes. Most stores will do it for free.

Let me know what you find.
