Is there a puddle? Leaks can come from anywhere in the cooling system. Some autoparts stores rent or loan tools. See if you can get a cooling system pressure tester. It looks a little like a bicycle pump. Pressurize the system and see if you can find the leak. Look for water stains that may help to identify the leak. fourwd1 08-01-2005, 09:59 AM Pressurize the system and see if you can find the leak.

Check around radiator and heater hose connections, all around the water pump, freeze plugs in the block, and with the 3.0 could even be a intake manifold gasket problem. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
