coolant leaking as fast as i can pour it in
I checked my radiator and didnt see much coolant in it. It hasn't been driven in a couple of weeks. Anyway i was pouring coolant in the radiator and it was pouring out the driver side of the block above the motor mount from what i can tell, it is about 32 degrees windy and rainy and did feel like digging into just yet. So my question is could it be coming from a hose i dont see or a freeze plug. It was just odd that it was pouring out as fast as i was pouring it in.. Thanks for the help.:dang:

i hate to say it but the freeze plug is a very good possibility:scare2:
|
freeze plug
Yea i believe its going to be a freeze plug. Does anyone know of a trick to change one out with the motor still installed or will the motor need to be pulled..
|
something else to keep in mind. right in the area you described, there is a fluid exchanger that flows oil and coolant seperately. ive seen those break and crack and do just as your describing
|
Thanks Tltruckparts for the reply, so what does a fluid exchanger look like exactly.
Thanks. |
it is right on the side of the block you cant miss it. its like a oval shaped that goes horizontal. i think its only held in with 4 bolts. if i remember correctly it almost looks like a miniature exhaust manifold. but dont quote me on that
|
if thats not the case ^
you can do freeze plugs on the drivers side with the motor installed, you'd have to do it from underneath and its a pain the the a$$ |
