Coolant leaking again...
 
I'm losing coolant. I don't know from where. I will get a pressure test done next week. I took a good look and couldn't figure it out. I couldnt see any thing from above the engine but underneath was a different story there is coolant everywhere. I had the head gaskets done in the past 10,000 miles. Here are some pics any initial guess? i want an idea of what it might be before i even bring it to get it pressure tested that way i know if he is tellin the truth or not. It's obvious it is dripping down from pipe to pipe but not sure where it could have started.

Don't wait too long to get it pressure tested.

go up the side of the block to where the head gaskets are. It could also be the front cover leaking down to there. That is the nice thing about Dexcool, when you get a leak, you should get a nice trail if it is coming down the side.

WOW that's a lot of coolant. You have to clean it all up and track it down. If its not obviously coming from the heads then it can be coming from the front cover or valley pan gasket (front or rear end)
you can also get some UV dye and put it in your coolant, that might help faster than washing it down.

its the land rover equivalant to a homicide crime scene. i'm gonna wipe it down when i get home from work today and see if i can track it down a little better.

it looks like it is coming from somewhere near the coolant pump. i can't tell for sure. i am getting the pressure test first thing thurs morning.

That would actually be a good news. Pumps are much easier to replace that re-do the heads.

Good for you. I have been in "DIYS" mode ever since the initial factory warranty expired, and that was 6 years ago. :rolleyes:

yeah i have done more myself since my initial purchase and my involvement here. but the head gaskets were done by the dealer when i first bought the truck back in May. back then i didn't even have a screwdriver let alone the RAVE CD and a jack. learn something new every day. my disco 1 never had any problems. 2 bad i was forced 2 sell it when i lost my job 3 years ago.
