So I finally got around to putting 1.5” spacers on my 86 gl10 that has a 2 inch lift both on the motor and on the transmission. The car has not been. run since the install. I noticed as I was installing coolant started leaking on Driver side. It is dripping from timing belt cover.  Any input is mush appreciated!

I have never had this thing overheat on me  

 

Water pump sprung a leak, perhaps?

Thermostat gasket and that bastard of a rubber coolant hose between block and thermostat housing can also bust a leak, sneak down and drip from timing belts to make it look like water pump leak.

I think we all need cooling system pressure test kits

Thanks for the responses! At least I have some where to start. 

I’ll be sure to post what I find...once it stops snowing. Gotta love fall in Montana!

At least the hunting is good.
