With the hood open looking at the firewall at the back of the engine I can see a drip. The location on the firewall where the drip is coming from is just right of center attached to the firewall. No fluid is getting into the driver compartment. Using a small mirror I tried to identify where the leak is coming from but cant find anything.

It kind of looks like its coming from a small canister about the size of a smokeless tobacco can?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ted

Replace your coolant temp sensor, by the way is ur check eng light on, if so u may have a p0116 code related to faulty coolant thermostat, which u will need to replace both thermostat & coolant temp sensor, to correct cooling system fault issues.
