OK ....when I see drops of fluidunder the car, I freak....I am seeing coolant drips,and I check the fluids religously. The resevoir is going down about 1/2 `` every 2 weeks. Oil level is good, no wet spots around heads, no steam blowing out the exhaust. I did the valley pan gasket job a year ago and there is no leak back there. I did all the rad hoses, new water pump,thermostat,seafoam trick,that little thingy on the right side plenum/throttle body was changed. Now I have orange drips on the ground and I took the oil filler cap off and it is wet inside.I dry it out and drive it and take it off and it is wet inside again. Its cold like -24 and I hope that is normal condensation. Freakin drips [:@][:@][:@][:@] am I paranoid???????

 

Crawl under your truck with a flash light and see what you find. Other wise fill the coolant bottle to the top, when cold and then go have a coolant pressure test run to find your leak.

 

So thatI won t scare my local shady tree mechanic shop who have never seen a LandRover.....does the mech just hook up his gauge and see if it loses pressure?............I have never seen it done, so is that about right?

 

If your mechanic doesn't know how to do a coolant pressure test, find a new mechanic.
You would probably be better off going to a radiator shop and having them test it.

 

do you think he wil have the right thingy / adaptorto screw onto the resevoir. Is it a standard test of 8lbs pressure to hold for 2 minutes?? These guys inour town know more about combine harvesters than suv s , let alone a Landy

 

My 96 Discovery has all new gaskets etc,all redone still leaks oil,can't find it
