It's a 4.0l engine and runs pretty well. After driving for awhile I notice little coolant drips on the ground. I pressure tested the cooling system at about 22psi and lifted it on the hoist. I can see coolant dripping from both sides of the bellhousing and both sides of the front of the cylinder heads.

The oil looks good and is not mixing with the coolant so do I have a headgasket issue or intake gasket leaking? I cleaned the left from head off and could see coolant just starting to leak out between the head and block.

Try to track down exactly where it is coming from first before ripping into the engine. My RR used to leak down the bell housing, usually every spring... So far it has been almost 2 years and it hasn't done this since. I'm almost certain it is the throttle body heater on mine, but it stopped leaking before I could find it.

 

I have been driving it for a few weeks now and the coolant doesn't really go down that much and I haven't had to top it up yet. I will probably just buy a headgasket kit and replace every gasket on the top end anyway because I want this to last me for the winter at least. So far I'm pretty impressed with how it drives and 90% of the electronics still work being a 95!!

 

Yo really need to quit driving it before some more damage is done.

 

I bought the gasket kit and will be swapping out the headgaskets this weekend. I still drive it and always check the coolant level and it's barely even going down. It's still almost right on the cold line on the tank. It's a very small leak but still bothers me so all the top end gaskets will be changed.
