Lightbulb coolant leak top of motor 94 348 spider

I have a coolant leak that is somewhere between where the coolant hose attaches to motor and the top of the engine block. Any common areas I should look to try to chase it down.

Default Coolant leak

I have the same issue with my Mondial t (same engine)
I assume you mean the front of the engine where the main coolant hoses exit, and where the water pump is situated.
The thermostat housing is located below these hoses and that can be a source of leaks. Hopefuly it will be that and not your water pump.
I'm having trouble working out where the leak is on mine, the trouble is the water gets flung around by the various pulleys and goes everythere.
I'm going to get the system pressure tested which may be the only way to find it, but I think my water pump seals may have failed.

Default Figured it out

It was the coolant return line that attaches under the center of the intake. Bit tough to get to but overall easy fix. Thanks

Default Leak

I found mine, it was a split in the main coolant hose where it attaches to the thermostat housing.
Will be a bit of a job to replace, but should be OK.
