What is your question?
My coolant is dripping out of an area around the front of the engine near the oil pan. I can't find any hoses leaking. Everytime I fill it up it just pours out from somewhere onto the metal piece in front bottom of the engine which blocks your view from seeing anything.

Very good chance it's the water pump leaking, pump is timing belt driven and this is an *interference engine* if the timing belt fails! .. Suggest having mechanic check it out 'soon' .. Not a DIY repair .. H20 pump is behind the timing belt cover, can't actually see it until front of engine is disassembled however a 'mechanic' should be able to determine if pump is leaking.
I agree with pushrod, and you need to be very careful ( especially in this heat) that you dont have air in the cooling system as you can hurt your engine and cost yourself a lot more money than necessary. I dont know what part of town your in but Street Tech Auto can test your cooling system for as little as $60. I would recommend you get a professional to look into it soon.
I won't even turn it on. It leaks to much to take a chance to ruin the engine. Is there a way I can test if it is the pump myself. It's summer so my motorcycle is my daily driver and have a lot of time to fix it myself. I have changed the head gasket on a fox body Mustang before though this engine seems more advanced. Thanks for the help
if you feel confident in your ability, then you need to start tearing down in the area of the leak til you isolate the source. you probably dont need a pressure tester if its leaking that badly. once you find it then you can research the repair and give it a go. otherwise a professional would be the obvious next choice.
My car is doing the same thing. Did you find out what was wrong with it?
