Coolant leak
Bought a 2000 Tracker with 149k miles. 4 door 5 speed 4wd and not sure whether it’s a 1.6 or 2.0l engine. Has a coolant leak to the left of the oil filter (standing on driver side looking in engine bay) that I can’t seem to pinpoint. I can see the coolant running down the block and it seems to me as it is too low to be the water pump but am not positive. Also, my radio, OBD port, and dome lights do not work at all. Any help is greatly appreciated.

For the radio, OBD port, and dome lights check your fuses. The coolant leak may not be where you see the coolant running down the block as it could travel along the block and be visible at another spot.

Oldchevy,
Pulled the necessary fuse initially for cig,radio, etc and it ended up being the 10 amp dome fuse which enabled the other accessories to work. Thanks! I was able to find part of a leak coming from by block heater but there is still a leak near the water pump and ac compressor.
