Seepage of antifreeze
 

1930 coupe has small seepage of antifreeze from bottom of bell housing. Just a few drops in my garage floor coming from cotter key area of bell housing. Just flushed the radiator with water and added 50/50 Prestone. Decided to put in a small bottle of K-Seal but that did not stop it, may have slowed it down a bit, but was not much to begin with. Wondering where the antifreeze is coming from. Not leaking enough to obviously change water level in radiator. Should I just keep an eye on the radiator water level, give some more time for the K-Seal to work. Did not notice leak before radiator flush but could have been there. Just looking for some sage advice.

I had a small coolant leak from that same area that i could not find. I put a bottle of UV dye in the radiator and with a Ultra Violet light was able to trace it back to my water pump. Works best when it is dark out or in a garage with lights out.

Available at most auto parts stores. Makes it easy to see the level in your radiator also.
