Hey all! I have a coolant leak i can't find. I can see coolant on the uder cover of the engine. I have tried to find it but no luck. Anyone else run into this issue?

Thanks,

Lance

 

Have to go the engine hot then checked? if you jack the car up and get the engine hot I would think it would be fairly easy to spot wipe everything down with a rag first, the coolant will leak out alot faster when its hot and theres pressure in the system.

 

you might have an intercooler issue. the second time i had the i/c issue, coolant would go low with no signs of a leak.

 

Are you sure it's coolant? I thought I had a similar leak, but it turned out to be rainwater from the car being left outside. The rain collected on the bottom engine cover, and eventually dripped onto the ground. I took off the engine cover, and clear water poured on the ground. Keeping the car in the garage at night has eliminated the problem. :-)

 

I've also seen oil leak from the filter area and puddle down there. Saw it on Jake80's a while back. Turned out the oil filter was loose.

 

Here we go with the old school thing.

Stick you finger into the fluid.

Touch another finger with that one.

Take the second finger and touch your tongue.

Does it taste sweet?? Thats antifreeze.

Cant find it, get some UV dye and do a search in the evening / dark.

Woody BTW ATF does not taste, new oil same thing.

BTW BTW battery acid is very tart, which is why u touch one hand to the other to reduce dosage.........

 

What side of the engine compartment?

I just found out that my Johnson is leaking!!!

I hate when that happens!

 

ALSO YOU WILL GET THE LOOK

 

dj maybe you should see a doctor!!!

a leaky johnson is nothing to play with!

 

Depends if it gets serious.

 

Yes..... that could be very embarassing....

 

Perhaps you should follow Woody's instructions....????.....

 

Between this and the post above it, I don't know what's funnier! LOL

 

This one wins!!!

 

Good stuff tighe1 take care of your johnson and get out here before the weather goes away
