My 1986 Ford Bronco 5.8L V8 has a coolant leak located right behind where the water pump mounts. It's not the water pump itself seeing as i replaced it just today and i still have a "fountain" of coolant coming out from behind the pump. The leak is located about a inch behind where the pump actually mounts on and someone said it might be a head gasket leak. Can anyone confirm or offer another opinion on the matter?
 
More than likely its a crap leak. see the truck needs to take a shit. so bring it in your house and set it on the toilet.
 
hmmm.. thats what it seems like i really cant say with out looking at it but i would say a head gasket leak
one way check the oil and tail pipe for water
if the oil looks like milky then pow thats it

other than that maybe a freeze plug i know ford had them on the heads but where you are talking about doesnt match up

hope that helps
 
well now you've heard a stupid answer see if its the bypass hose or heater hose could be a head but i'd let it get warm full of water look for the leak make sure its not a cracked thermostat housing
good luck
