Coolant leak

[Rustynail11]

Yesterday I came to a stop light and caught a whiff of that oh so sweet coolant smell. Was less than a mile from the house so drove home. Once in the driveway I looked and the temp gauge was fine and no warning lights on the dash. I got out opened the hood to take a look and didn't see any coolant and reservoir was full, everything looked fine. I shut the hood and turned the engine off but as I was walking to the porch turned around saw coolant just pouring out of the bottom of the engine compartment, attached pic is what spilled on to the driveway.

I haven't had a chance to get pop the hood or get underneath to see if I can see issues. Any ideas?

Short Story: Likely loose bolts on water pump inlet tube.

Yep, one or both bolts on your water pump inlet have loosened. There is a TSB that affects JLs built before March 2022 for this fix.

Good job getting it home and shutting down before anything was really hurt.

Keep us posted.
