Have you started a separate thread on this I am intrigued from other threads on the topic it is a very difficult job.
To be honest i cant see much from the photo but have you replaced your PHH recently?
No but that's on the to-do list.
That is in the general area of your leak. When i bought my truck the PO thought it had an oil leak. Turned out it was the PHH. Not my favourite first job on my cruiser.
Edit: worth checking how much coolant is in your radiator. Pull the radiator cap to check as the reservoir will give a false indication if the system is sucking air from else where.

New Bling!
On my latest adventure upon inspection I suffered some damage one of a few items was my rear sway bar.

As luck would have it I had FedEx box with a new Whiteline 30mm rear sway bar waiting for me when I returned as part of a future handling package I was putting together.

Not sure about the results but at 20% larger in diameter it should be harder to bend.
No performance feedback as my plan is to do a thread on the total upgrade once its all done and tested.
Found the time to drive the 80 with the upgraded rear swaybar. I noticed the difference on the first turn without question, Im lovin it.
Adventure traveling the middle of the next week and because I drive the SAME F'n highways to get out of town I will be able to get a real feel for the performance change, Im stoked!
New trail gear front bumper. I'm happy with it.

Yes it is here you go check this outAwesome setup! Ordered one myself to follow your lead
Is the wood tray easily removable? I saw on FR's site that they don't recommend mounting it on the exterior of the vehicle because it's not waterproof and am hoping to just take the wood panel out (looks just like a retaining hex bolt?) when not traveling...

Ive got lukes bumpers I like that yours dont block the running lights. mine do. nice
Next on the list from my carnage on the San Francisco River trip - Clifton AZ trip is my rear passengers flare. I was lucky to see it hanging after the river assaulted it before it fell off. I have a spare full set of flares but why when I can repair it.
Out with torch, scribe, awl, and a fresh supply of regular JB weld (I love that stuff). I had new push pins and socket on the shelf so I went with new. Some adjustment of the metal brackets and now it the tightest fitting flare on the 80.

May not look pretty but much stronger than new with all the new found support.

Happy to see another 80 series owner committed to the flares. Deflaring makes a lot of logical sense but it just looks so off to me!Next on the list from my carnage on the San Francisco River trip - Clifton AZ trip is my rear passengers flare.

Haha. My 92 doesn't have a spec of rust on it either and has seen 22 Iowa/Indiana winters. I'm a bit obsessive about cleaning the undercarriage. Just a smidge...

The last time I did a flare repair on the late fzj flare (the plastic, not the fiberglass) I tried this 3m scotch weld adhesive. It is quite an investment because you need the applicator gun (had one from repairing snowmobile bulkheads with Lord adhesives-same gun), as well as disposable mix nozzles but this stuff is amazing strong. There is enough in the kit for several repairs.
