ive got a 1980 Bj40, with a very bad coolant leak that’s coming from The engine,
im not sure what I can do about it, that’s is why I’m here.
Ive Tried to include the best photos I could take of the issue, Circled the leaking spot in red in 2 pics and in the pic with out red you can actually see the stream of coolant flowing out like it’s pissing itself. it’s on the drivers side near the dip stick
my questions are:
1. can it be fixed?
2. What needs to be done to fix it?
3. Why this might have happened?
4. Do you know a mechanic who works on imported landcruisers?
5. Is it crazy to weld this problem away?
history of the vehicles problem.
In summer It Was driving fine no problems, then i winterized it and sat it for about 6 months, got back to it to drive it again, first drive back it over heated, noticed there wasn’t enough coolant, filled it with coolant, ran fine for about 45 mins then coolant going everywhere, that’s when I discovered this profuse leak and it’s where abouts.
