| Post subject: | antifreeze leaking |
My antifreeze keeps getting low in my reservoir. Temp light will go on but temp gauge doesn't get out of normal range. I have to top it off twice a day. If I look from underneath I see that it has leaked down to the flex pipe area and seems to be wet around the turbo area.I loose a gallon a day, no leaks from the reservoir. Any suggestions? Thanks |

Thanks Does the overflow bottle partition (right side) have fluid in it as well? Could be leaking out the overflow hole near firewall? |

The factory clamp on the engine side of my lower radiator hose was leaking pretty good in that area. Replaced with a constant pressure clamp like we have on the heavy diesels at work. No more leaky. |

Did notice oil on the oil cooler, around the bottom of turbo. Also antifreeze steaming around the flex exhusted pipe. ( its hard to see where the coolant is coming from) it almost seems its coming from the flex pipe |

It's probably leaking from a compromised part of the return line. Check the line that runs to the bottom of the tank as well while you are in there. I replaced all of my radiator hoses when I did my top end work at 112k and they were all compromised in one way or another, especially after removal. Cracks, tears, weeping. The OEM hoses aren't meant to last 8+ years under those conditions. I guess I can only speak for mine, they definitely weren't aging well. |
