I just noticed a coolant leak coming from the casting/adapter between the cast oil pan and transmission housing in my wife's 02 x-type with the 2.5 engine. The coolant I feel shouldn't be in this location? The leak is coming from a crack in a casting seam that faces the exhaust pipe. We had thought that the leak was coming from the overflow reservoir and replaced it since it had a minor crack as well. The coolant level is staying constant in the reservoir mor now since it was replaced.

Any thoughts on the coolant leak--would it be a cracked head or blown gasket??

Also, this morning when the wife was going to work the engine quit-all the warning lights came on-she couldn't remember any messages. She stopped and then restarted the motor and the light went off--it ran fine on the way home she said. However, now the odometer/message window has a pulsing background with the engine running
