    Question of the Day - Coolant Leak

    I’m back! I replaced my upper coolant hose to repair a leak a while back and everything was great for a few weeks. But doing some work and noticed that I have a new coolant leak. I was hoping it was the lower hose but I think it may be the water pump (assuming I am looking at my water pump 😂)...

    Coolant Leak

    I did it!!! I found my coolant leak!! Very exciting as a novice mechanic 😄 This radiator hose was very pregnant. So I’ll replace it tomorrow. But I still have questions. The leak was pretty slow. Lost 1psi about every 1-2 min and it slowed to a stop around 15 psi. She’s not leaking while...

    Coolant drip near rear main seal

    Have a coolant leak posted a week ago or so. Dropping the Jeep off on the 4th to Jason at Absolute Offroad here in PHX. Filled back up with some distilled water and ran the car for 10-15 minutes since it hasn’t been started in week. It was DUMPING coolant after reaching close to operating...

    Coolant leak.. but where?!

    Hi, I've recently bought a new battery including a free install... while doing that, the shop noticed that my coolant was basically empty - no clue how I could miss that. Since I'm in thailand they quickly filled it with tap water.. at least it looked to me like that - I don't speak thai. The...

    High oil pressure, loosing coolent. 2.5l

    Hello, have a little bit of a strange dynamic. I have high oil pressure. I don't know what the ranges are off the top of my head but it goes from like 2.5 to 5. It started recently pinning to five on throttle and then going down to 3.5 slowly when I let the throttle off so when I'm throttling...

    Coolant leaking near transmission, what could it be?

    Went out to my jeep tonight and noticed what I initially thought was oil leaking from the bell housing and upon closer inspection noticed it is coolant. Also looks to be coolant under the water pump. 2003 4.0 with 5 speed. PO replaced the radiator 20k ago. Reservoir is empty. If any one has...

    Coolant/water spewing from rear of engine block

    Just finished clearing out the most clogged heater core probably in history. Insane amount of rust, gunk and hard particles came out for days on end. Replaced entire cooling system except heater core for obvious reasons. After some flushes, one thermocure, distilled water, Prestone etc. Today...

    Replacing only the radiator?

    Hi everyone. As a follow-up to my previous post, I finally found the source of my coolant leak when it suddenly opened up like a faucet today. It appears the bottom plastic seam is separating, so obviously the radiator has to be replaced. My question is: do I replace only the radiator, or...

    Looks like a coolant leak

    So I’ve seen similar post. I’m just wanting to get an opinion. I’ll post the video of the leak. It’s pink so I’m assuming it’s coolant. It looks like it’s coming from behind the belt. I gauge doesn’t show me over heating and even the the engine was running super hot. I’ve run it for about 5-8...

    Radiator Drain Plug Question

    So my radiator had a minor leak at the drain petcock/plug. Its plastic. I decided to drain the radiator and flush it. Then replace the drain plug. Easy fix. Well when I went to put in the new plug, the retaining piece of the old plug got pushed into the bottom of the radiator when I was...

    Leak from either water pump or thermostat housing

    Wondering if someone can help me. I noticed the other day after driving the car a flood of coolant leaking from the front of the block. I can’t quite see where is is coming from. I initially thought it might have been the water pump, but there is no play in the bearing and it stopped leaking...

    Would messing with the fan clutch destroy a seal / gasket on the water pump?

    I'm a bit lost on this one and need to spring board off you guys... A buddy and I installed a 1" motor mount lift on the 05 LJ in preparation for installation of the Savvy skid system and forgot to unbolt the fan shroud 🤦‍♂️. That little mistake caused the radiator to leak out of the bottom...

    Coolant leak tracked down? 2nd opinions please

    My 2002 (125k 4.0L manual) has been very slowly losing coolant for the past 6 months or so following replacement of tstat/gasket and all hoses by a shop. To give you an idea of how slow it's leaking, in about 6 months the overflow reservoir level dropped from "full" about halfway to "fill". I...

    Coolant from A/C condensation drain tube

    I've been using this forum for quite a while as it's far superior to all the others out there. So far, I've been able to find any answers I was looking for by making use of existing threads. But now I've encountered a somewhat odd problem, so I decided to register and finally contribute...
