Could really use some help here, I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out where I can be losing coolant from.
I have a small leak dripping off the pass. front corner of the bellhousing. not much, maybe 1-2 drops a night. in looking up from underneath the truck, all i can really see is that its running down the back of the head from above.
from the top side- the ONLY part of the motor that looks wet to me is the top of pass side intake runner. As if its leaking right behind/under the alternator and running down the "V" between the head and runner. I thought some part of my heater hose was leaking (egr deleted) so i did the following:
took the plastic "adapter" fitting off the heater core
new rubber hose and clamps
used the heater "pipe" off of a lb7 instead of the lbz (pipe out of thermostat housing)
I deleted all of the coolant lines going to the stock turbo
fleece plug in the rad hose too
So couple questions
1- any where i could not have thought of to look for the leak?
2- how much pressure should I put into the system to pressure test it?
I tried to pressure test it last weekend, but made a dumb mistake and the fitting came loose and blew coolant everywhere, so i couldnt keep looking. want to try it again this weekend and just want to make sure im doing it right.
