What is your question?
Just noticed that my 95 town car is leaking a small amount of coolant. Looks like the coolant is coming from the water pump. This this something that is very hard to change out myself.Thanks.

Roy is right! The way an automotive shop would locate the leak is by removing the radiator cap and attaching an adapter that screws on in place of the radiator cap. Something that looks like a bicycle pump with a pressure gauge attached to it is used to "pump up" pressure to simulate pressure generated when the cooling system is at operating temperature, the leak is then found sometimes it is obviously leaking from a coolant hose or cracked housing, failed gasket or water pump, sometimes the engines cooling system needs to be inspected from below or inspected using a mirror and flash light.
get a pressure test to verify first. water pump is not too bad but may be difficult for an ametuer. pays 1.5 in a shop. double or triple the time for you. Roy
