Smelled coolant the other day and just had time to look over the rig and see what might be up. Found this around the transmission:
Do you think I have a valley plate coolant leak?
Just kidding, it’s abundantly clear. Just wanted to share since I haven’t seen too awful much in regards to this, happens but isn’t crazy common yet it seems. I just did an oil change and greased the u-joints/etc about 1,000 miles ago and saw nothing down there. Coolant was low, topped it off and it’s at L again today. Seems to have potentially been leaking slow and got worse fast.
2010 with 110K on it. Now to put a parts list together and tackle this, water pump and radiator in one go, all in winter time without a garage, my favorite.
Can anyone offer a recommendation on a good OE parts supplier they like? I’ve seen mention of several dealership parts departments and such, just looking for one someone’s used and recommends.
