You'd think I'd be able to see where tons of Antifreeze is comming from, but no such luck. I put the 93 ATX on a lift, and still couldn't see it. All I can see is antifreeze comming off of a heat shield located right behind the passenger headlight, all the way on the bottom of the engine compartment, I think there's an exhaust pipe under the shield. What's is there above that that could be leaking Antifreeze?

took it to a shop today, they said it's the Water pump. The local Ford Dealer says it'll be about $600 at least. craaaaaaaap

You could do it yourself for about $65. It's not the funnest job but there are some decent instructions out there.

There are some decent instructions here and here . Read them both over carefully if you do decide to do the job. Biggest problem you'd probably find is finding bolts long enough to thread into the crankshaft pully when you take it off with a crank pully remover (I still have this problem cause my o-ring behind my water pump is leaking, and I'm having problems taking my crankshaft pully off, so if any of you guys know of good bolts to use, please let me know!!). But all in all, the job isn't really that hard.
