  • coolant leak at the front LIM replaced

    Working on a Malibu with the 3100 in it. the LIM gasket was replaced recently to address a coolant leak. Still have a coolant leak but we cannot pin point it.

    Seems to be leaking from rear passenger side looking from the front of the car.

    Could it be timing chain cover? If so, do i need to replace the timing chain cover too?

    A couple of the bolts in the timing cover actually do enter the waterjacket as well as the cover itself having a gasket that seals the ports for the water pump. Could be leaking from either of these spots. I would just start with just re-sealing the bolts before I pulled the whole cover....
