Coolant Leak Question
Hello All,
I've been breathing life back into a 06 S (190k) I recently purchased. After changing the upper motor mount and camshaft position sensor yesterday, I did a quick test drive and noticed an antifreeze drip from the front right corner. I did a quick review of some of the other sections and noticed that this is often from a bad thermostat.
I went out later this morning and let the car get up to operating temperature and had no leak.
Before I go ahead and change the thermostat, I'd love some feedback on how to diagnose whether it is the thermostat vs. water pump or some other cooling system component.
Thank you very much!
Bryan
