There is a leak from the front on the pump. A steady drip but the cleaner is still moving and working properly. The front is held on by a number of 1/2 or 3/8 inch nuts. The drip is from the other end of the electrical connection.

I recently had this happen to a fairly new pb-4 that ran dry and overheated for about an hour before I noticed it. I disassembled the volute and impeller on the front of the shaft to look at the condition of the impeller and shaft seal. There are several youtube videos that detail the shaft seal replacement. I ended up having to replace the impeller as well as the shaft seal due to the impeller being deformed. Cost me about $35 for both the impeller and seal.

After replacing leaky rear lines and while bleeding i couldn't seem to get any kind of a pedal i held it after pumping quite a few times i did end up with a steady stream without the pedal moving ,so...

sounds like one of the bleeder nipples wasn't tightened properly. There's a cool little bleeder kit that has a blocker ball in it so it doesn't allow any air back into the brake line when you go pump the brake pedal until you tighten the nipple.

GE dishwasher inlet valve leaking

see this steps and fix it. God bless you

Dishwasher Not Leveled

This is a very common reason for a leaking dishwasher especially if this was a new installation. The framing in a dishwasher is made up of mostly thin sheet metal, so if it is not sitting flat and level things can get distorted very easily.

Door Seal

This is not very common in most dishwashers. To check this look for rips and distortion of the seal. If it is ripped or distorted you will need to replace.

Dispenser Seal

This is a more common place for a leak to develop. This is easy to check, remove the front panel and carefully inspect around the seal for water dripping or stainage. If any is found replace the dispenser gasket.

Water Inlet Valve

Usually it is the connection to the water inlet valve that ends up leaking. Check this connection ( there is usually some sort of adaptor between the valve and supply hose) for leaks. Check the connection on the back of the water inlet valve also. Ocassionaly a water inlet valve will leak around the solenoid in this case replace water inlet valve.

Drain / Circulating Pump

Some dishwashers have separate drain and circulating pumps Some use one pump to serve both purposes. In either case you will need to check the housings for leaks along with all the connections. Some dishwashers have a seal that leaks down into the pump . This is easy and inexpensive to replace. Follow the tutorial on replacing the pump

Door Latch

The door latch can become loose or misalinged. Check both the striker and the latch. To adjust the latch you will need to remove the front panel and adjust the switch until properly aligned.

Door Hinges

They can cause problems, but this usually only happens from opening a heavy load of dishes on the door. Occassionaly a broken spring or cable occurs. You will need to remove the toe kick and maybe the front panel to inspect.

2001 chrysler lhs leaking antifreeze when turn car off

After engine has cooled, put water in the radiator if you can, not the overflow bottle.
Antifreeze raining down - sounds like a water pump leak, or other SERIOUS leak, in a rubber hose, etc. You can ruin the engine if it overheats! Guage will not work with no water in the engine. Have reliable mechanic check it ASAP

Coolant dripping from vacuum pump on a 1997 ford explorer.

What you describe sounds like the heater valve. It is used to shut off coolant flow to the heater core when the heater is not turned on. If it is leaking, replace it.
