Just wanted to update everyone on the coolant leak I had over the past several months. I finally went in and with the help of my mechanically inclined friend we removed the manifold and turns out the slow leak I had after truck was shut off was the o-ring on the water pipe going into water...

I can see a small amount of coolant just below where pipe inserts into water pump. I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t water pump or something else before I removed intake manifold or other areas leaking. I can also see a rubber o ring where the pipe inserts into water pump that has seemed to...

Ok….so I had the coolant lines pressure tested and the mechanic says the leak is almost definitely coming from coolant pipe assembly going from back of engine(heater tees) to the water pump. He thinks it’s the gasket but possible rust on the pipe. The thermostat housing with o ring are no...

Thanks again for the super detailed post! Yes.. crusty indeed. I live about 1/2 mile from besch on the east coast and in the winters they spray saline water all over roads which just eats at everything. I had to do a s*** ton of work underneath using rust converter and RP-342 to repel water...

So the leak is occurring only on the passenger side and have inspected the area and been underneath many times to make sure it is only the one side. I will check the timing cover weep hole(if I can find it) I just replaced the water inlet O-ring that was visibly leaking(coolant crust around...

Yes, coolant all over the front diff. but also making its way down the oil pain and backwards. I did have the alternator replaced and did seem to start around then.... so Im assuming that bolt with the coolant on it has to come off to replace alternator?

Hey Everyone, First time posting so quick intro....I have an 02 LC with 209k miles. No major modifications, just larger BFGs and had spacers in there but one broke so I just went back to stock. I do some work myself(heater Ts, radiator, AC drain reroute, thermostat housing reseal and O ring...

Hey Guys Been using this forum for a while and have used all your info to maintain and fix my 2002 LC with 209K. I cannot seem to find a coolant leak that only leaks when truck stops and will leak several minutes then stop. The area is the same exact area as photographed in this thread(next to...
