I'm losing about a tablespoon a day. It accumulates in the rock shield, then drips. It is coming from pretty high up on the right side of the case. Both output shaft seals are new. Any bets on the most likely candidate?
The '76 got a bath today and after I noticed water on the driver and passenger side floor boards. Anyone want to venture what seal or seals are failing, or maybe even not there?? I suspect maybe the vent area on cowl but I though that vent was non functional, or cowl/lower windshield frame...
Why am I redoing the interior? The PO ripped out the carpet because it was wet and developed mildew followed by yucky smells and my daughter can't stand it etc etc. The seats looked like crap because why? WATER thats why! Whenever driving in a torrential downpour it drips on my head on my...
i just replaced my radiator water pump thermostat radiator cap and all hoses with oem except phh that was gates green stripe Now I am getting coolant leaking from the pipe located above the thermostat that connects to a rubber hose. I've found a parts catalog but it's hard for me to tell for...
1993 FZJ80 335k miles
She has purred like a kitten for the past 23k miles since I got her. Yesterday the low oil light came on (she burns a fair amount, no leaks). I dumped a couple of quarts of Delo 15w-40 in and drove on.
Today I pulled on the interstate and heard the noise below. I was on...
My manual steering box has a slight leak. I've been looking around and have found lots on the older boxes including rebuild threads. I was hoping someone out there sold a rebuild kit for it but it doesn't look it. Does anyone know of someone who sells one?
Thanks!
Over the past month I've noticed a loss of coolant in the reservoir, at first it was slow and no sign of a leak but over the last week I've noticed a small puddle(maybe cup holder size). The reservoir is now empty after a couple of days. Attached are pictures I just took. I do not see dripping...
I went out tonight a noticed a puddle under the truck towards the drivers side. It looks like it is coming from the Control Valve Housing on the steering rack. I checked the power steering reservoir and it was empty. I had not noticed any difference in driving.
Anyone rebuild just the...
I have replaced the PS Pump twice in the last two years and the pressure hose twice, but can't seem to quash the stupid leak. It now cost me an alternator rebuild. I have searched and read threads that seem to mostly be about the PS pump rebuild. Any thoughts on other sources of leaks of PS...
I've searched prior threads but didn't see anything similar to the leak I'm experiencing as it's NOT the drain channels. The plastic trim pieces surrounding the sunroof are colllecting water and dripping at the seams. It looks like the sunroof seal itself is bad. Has anyone encountered a similar...
Slowly but surly ticking things off my list.
06 LX. Atlanta has had a pretty good amount of rain. I have noticed water in both the driver and passenger floor areas. Not a ton but enough that it pooled on my Weathertechs and dampened the carpet underneath the mats. On one occasion, I noticed the...
Hey fellas, I'll first give the rundown on the specs and then I'll explain the problem...

Hey guys,
I replaced my water pump and timing belt a few weeks ago and I am having trouble getting a good gasket seal at the thermostat housing. (See pics).
I have done the gasket twice. The first time I followed the directions on the permatex gasket maker (red). I put the material all around...
I've been dealing with a leak for the past month or so, and I just had no idea what was causing it. During rainy days, water would seep trough the headliner on the driver's side A-pillar and would develop a slow drip. I was concerned it was somehow coming in my rain gutters as there are a few...
Okay so I have had the infamous evap box water leak for a while now and it hasn't really bothered me but I have recently noticed that it has been causing my RH sway bar mount to rust.
What methods do you recommend to clean out the drain tube of debris and what size rubber hose will fit over the...
In no terms do I classify myself as a mechanic, so excuse me if my analysis sounds silly, but let me get to the point. I recently did a few thousand mile round trip from Michigan to Moab, Utah, in my 1991 FJ80, during the trip after around 300-400 miles of daily travel there would be a noticable...
So my Front diff and various other components have this green sludge on it. it gathered a decent puddle in about 3 hours. Idk what to refill and was wondering if yall had any ideas.
I dont have green coolant (its brown and needs to be changed), and theres no dye in the A/C. my engine oil isn't...
I was planning a run through Cleghorn Ridge tomorrow so I was just going through and checking fluids and noticed my transmission fluid seemed a bit low. It was warm and the reading was just below the hot mark. I honestly can't remember if that's the level it was the last time I checked.
I...
I have discovered pinhole leaks in the rear heater pipes. They are too small to see with the naked eye, and are only noticeable under pressure. Can I just solder these holes up, or will the leaks just come back? They are in a bend, so replacing that section of pipe will be a little more involved...
Collective genius at IH8Mud,
I recently bought my first Cruiser, an 83 FJ60, bone stock, doors and top removed, roll bar added, 150K miles. Found it on CL, flew out to IL, and drove it home to UT. The 1800 mile trip was awesome. It ran fine, pretty gutless, averaged 11 mpg, would get hot...
