I have a 2013 LR4 that has given me no issues until the other day I got a coolant low message so After it cooled i topped it off and then the next day I went around the block to the convenience store and right before I pulled into the driveway it went from normal op temp to full hot. I went and got a coolant pressure pump and filled the reservoir with water to not drop even more chemicals I seem to have found the source of the leak but it doesn't appear to be coming from the part I expected. Or maybe I was just unable to see it properly so I think it's lower than it is... Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

This appears to be the spot of the leak


When viewing from the top it seems like the leak is almost directly on the bottom of the vehicle. Then once I got the bottom shields off so I could look upward this is what I saw




I also have a short video if that helps its on

 

likely the water pump, it leaks and drains out about where youre seeing it, could also be the tube from wp to oil cooler or possibly the crossover tubes up front. In any case you will want to do all of these at the same time.

 

as you have prob read id do the vacuum pump and PCV valve as well.

 

The shaft seal on the water pump frequently fails and leaks behind the pump pulley looking much like yours.

 

1. Coolant manifold or what people incorrectly call thermostat housing.

2. Leaky Egr valve cooler (white smoke)

3. Head gasket
