[geos sho]

here one for ya, 95 mtx 107000 mile on it, coolant leaking on warm up only, after warmup no leak not coming from water pump, resivoir ok hoses are fine, under the car, behind the timing cover but up higher on the motor i cant see were its coming from. Any ideas, my thought head gasket thats gonna suck, let me know what ya think,

Your post was sort of confusing....where exactly is the coolant leaking from. A lot of gaskets can leak while warming up - then once hot they expand and don't leak anymore. It would probably be a good idea to start the car cold and watch it under the hood (or jack it up and watch under the car) warm up and see where the leak is coming from.

could be the water pump tube o-rings have deteriorated, although i don't know if you can check/see them without removing stuff.

this is coming from behind timing cover below the head i think,and it traces back up towards the top of the engine exhaust manifold is in the way, cant see the bottom of the head where it meets the block. seriously it traces the back of the timing cover all the way down on the core support side of the engine/front of car. I am a wrench from way back 82-86 ed mullinax ford ohio,built motors,race cars and raced for years, i not inept when it comes to cars, I have run pressure check on the coolant system and it wont leak hot or cold!!!!! just looking to see if anyone has delt with this before so i am not wasting time or money.
