SOURCE: Water leak next to block behind water pump.

if its anything like a 4.6 v8 in a 2000 f150 then there may be a hose under the intake,which the intake has to come off to fix it.and its a steel hose with a 3 inch piece of rubber hose on the end which is where it leaks,right behind the water pump\or alternator but actually down in the valley under the intake

SOURCE: my 2001 ford taurus is leaking coolant on the

It could be a hose on top of the engine leaking back there. It could also be a freeze plug on the back of the engine. Its a round disk about 2-3" in diameter and is recessed about 3/8" into the block. Check those out and make sure all hoses are good and tight. Any hoses that are kind of puffed out above the clamp should be replaced

I have a leak on my 1998 ford Taurus 3.0l some where behind the belt tensioner?

Water pumps are located in that area. When the bearing goes bad it will leak and then will be hard to turn the pulley which makes the belt make a squeal sound. You should be losing water from your cooling system. Be careful, because if the engine gets overheated, you can crack the engine block. Which means mega bucks to fix.

My car is leaking from behind the water pump, but i know its not the water pump what could the problem be. looks like its leaking rite by the engine block on the passenger side

That is the timing cover gasket. The coolant goes through the timing cover into the block and there is a gasket between the two, and it is a common problem on the taurus.
