Default Coolant drip from front of engine.

It isn't coming from my weep hole as far as I can tell and it only happens when the engine is cool. Also if I open the cap on the plastic coolant tank releasing the pressure the leak stops immediately. I don't think it's major, probably just a hose or something, any ideas would be appreciated.

Default waterpump?

have you checked the waterpump? i had a small drip that baffeled me on my RR 4.0 Se and it turned out that i had one bolt on the bottom of my watrepump...it was the long bolt on the bottom left side...that was stripped and could not really tighten. When i replace the waterpump it leaked about 6 months later just a drip thing... i never got around to helicoiling that...lazy i guess and it was only a drip...

Some new information about my leak.

1. It's not coolant.

2. It has no smell, so I think it's water.

3. It's slightly oily, I think that might be because it is running down the front of my motor.

4. All my fluid level are fine, including ACE, power steering, coolant, oil, transmission, front and rear diff, and transfer case.

5. The leak has stopped.

6. I am confused as hell.

OK I need to amend an earlier statement. it is coolant, no doubt about it this time, sometimes it leaks sometimes it doesn't. It still doesn't seem to be coming from the weep hole on the water pump. It has to be the front seal or the water pump seal itself. Coolant levels are still fine. It's crazy how this just showed up.

I would say just chane the waterpump gasket but the pump is only like $75.00 and i use to put a new one in my other rover every 2 years... They just dont last...
