I have a 1984 M1008 CUCV that has had a 12V conversion retaining the passenger side alternator.
I was tightening the power steering belt and when I loosened the adjuster nut that attaches to the front of the aluminum housing on the front of the engine (timing cover/water pump housing?) and out weeps some coolant.

Nothing is ever easy. Of course I really don't want to tear down the entire front clip to fix this, but it is leaking enough to be a PITA and it is not environmentally safe.
Any suggestions on an easy fix?
