Coolant Leak Posted by Saabina [Email] (#33) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Saabina) on Tue, 29 Nov 2016 10:30:31 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
'93 turbo, 204k miles running well. Recently completed a 1600mile road trip. Now, some coolant loss and intermittent puddle under the right front (passenger side) after normal driving. Pulled the dizzy and all turbo hoses for a better look along with remove/replace/check all coolant hoses - none leaking. Turbo and coolant lines not leaking. Pressurized the system with shop vac and no obvious leaks. No evidence of moisture in oil or oil in coolant. No steam in exhaust. Normal pressure in coolant tank when at operating temp. Runs in lower third on temp gauge in all conditions. 82* thermo and fan switch, new radiator 2 years ago. No apparent leaks when running but sometimes a puddle after shutdown and sitting overnight. Only sign of leakage is front of engine and maybe lower corner of head/block area near turbo, dizzy and thermostat housing. What am I missing? Common head gasket leak area? Thanks in advance for any advice...
