Coolant Leak

August 28, 2011, 06:19:43 am

Has anyone had this happen? I have a coolant leak in the engine compartment it appears to be leaking underneath the ac compressor, as well as the hot water heater it may be two separate issues, I can let the engine run for 40 minutes at fast idle no leak. Hook the toad up head down the road after about 50 miles leak begins. the insulation around the hot water heater is soaked with coolant I have the Motor aid valve shut off. I have been dealing with this for 2 years can't seem to narrow it down. as soon as the sun comes up I think I will start with removing the hot water heater heater first, to see what we have. I think I am going to have to go into CHOP,CUT,REBUILD, Mode. Also going to finish the LED clearance light replacement today.

Thanks All

If it is a coolant leak WITHIN the water heater itself, you can bypass it with a barb to barb connector and some hose clamps, though of course it will no longer be a motor-aid water heater.
