I noticed I was losing a very small amount of AF, and went investigating. I
see a small leak of the stuff right around the front pulley/ harmonic area.
Any ideas whats going on? What do I need to do?

I have a 96 F150, 5.8

Water pump,there is a weap hole on the underside of the water pump
and when the seals fail it leaks out this hole.

Sounds to me like (knowing absolutely nothing about that engine) that
you need a water pump.

Yep classic sign of early pump failure.

Well, I replaced it, and all is well. Thanks all
