So I crawled under my disco today to admire my new shaft with neapco joints. Looks good.

However I noticed drops coming from somewhere and I can not figure out where. I am also concerned about it being dexcool. The disco had a new water pump , hoses, timing chain and timing chain gasket replaced less than 2k miles ago. I called days ago to confirm that they did not use dexcool for coolant and they said they would have used prestone or something like it.
Never occurred to me that the coolant color was orange, like dexcool.
So one thing I am hoping is that it is not dexcool. Is there other coolant that shares the same color?
Secondly I don't know where the drips are coming from.
Ideas? Pic links below.

Ideas why that bolt is spray painted hunter orange?

Thanks!

Look in your coolant recovery container to see what color you have. More than one brand comes in orange or red/orange. See http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/overh...e_Mag_53_g.pdf

Dang, they did all that and did not toss in a new oil pump???

Looking upward from the crank position sensor - head gaskets or maybe valley pan if you are lucky (leaking out the back).

Have you changed your oil yet? Isn't that the oil pan drain?

 

The coolant is orange/red , this is why I am worried it is dexcool.

 

timing cover gasket
front crank seal
timing chain and gears
waterpump
serp belt
oil and filter

It is what is says. This was pre my ownership.

 

Head gaskets if I am lucky? or valley pan only?
I thought head gaskets were a expensive job.

 

Sorry for the multi response. Been a long day.

I have not changed the oil yet as it was just done, but I prob will soon for a rotella quenching.

 

Valley pan if lucky. Remove doubt, flush coolant and go green. Would not worry about small drip until you have more indications of problems. Have been posts about the valley pan bolts being found just finger tight.

 

Havoline is the actual maker of Dex-Cool, but Prestone also makes a Dex-Cool equivalent.

 

Stop guessing and perform a coolant pressure test to 18 pounds, you will verify the leaks location real quick.

 

I'm going to do a pressure test today .
Also might flush system and fill with prestone and purple ice .

Keep you posted .
