Hi Scotty. I have a 94 Ford Taurus LX 3.0 Vulcan in great shape,with 144,000kms (90,000mi).After sitting for more than 24 hours, a tiny bit of coolant drips from the timing chain cover gasket. Is that something serious, can a radiator stop leak help, or should I just live with it? Thanks for all your helpful videos.

can you upload pictures? thank you
It would be very hard for me, because the leak is so small, and I would have to raise the car, or try to slide underneath. For me crawling under the car has become almost impossible.
It might be your water pump starting to go out. They typically have a little 'weep hole' to allow coolant to expel outside the engine by the crank pulley. Keep an eye on it in case it gets worse, and check your coolant level.

Thanks for the advice, but was the first thing I looked for. Recent pump, just replaced the gasket, weep hole shows no leaks. No coolant in oil, no oil in coolant. Head gasket appears OK. Coolant needs to be added rarely.
