Need a Spot
94 Rodeo, 138k..finding anti freeze on the garage floor. I put it up on the jack stands and can't locate the leak. It looks like it's driping off the side of the pan on the drivers side. If I had to guess, I'd say head gasket but I sure wish someone would say otherwise. What's my next move?

Could be...but could also be something as simple as a leaking frost plug or radiator hose or heater hose.

Had the EXACT same problem on my 94 V6 (218,500 and going...) just last week. Had to replace the water pump, it was leaking at the weep hole. If you decide to tackle the job yourself be sure to purchase a new timing belt as well. The markings on your old belt will have rubbed off making it impossible to reinstall correctly. Took about 5 hours, not too stressful. Send me a private message if you need tips!

Don't say that! Don't EVEN think that!

Hopefully not - but I understand the aggravation of wondering, just had one blow on my Toyota.

Keep us posted

Actually, water pump sounds like a pretty good guess too...
