Still looking

[Don W.]

I'm still looking for a veerry slow water leak, left side, drips off of the dif. Left wheel well is off, everything I can reach is dry. There is one freeze plug I can see. Is there another behind (or whatever) the motor mount?

Water pump is dry, IC hoses are dry. This darn leak is so small I'm tempted to just use some stop-leak of some kind. :squint:

Thanks,

Re: Still looking

Re: Still looking

Inadvertently or otherwise you just answered my question. There -are- two freeze plugs on the side of the block. I'm suspicious of the one behind the motor-mount. I know it's not the drain plug. Assuming, for the moment, that the leak is at the freeze plug I wonder if it can even be changed with the engine in the truck?
I will continue to check but the photo helped a bunch. Thanks again..

Re: Still looking

try a product called silver stallion. It is a sealer that you can put in your coolant system to seal small leaks like what you have. It WILL NOT plug up the cooling system in any way as it s a very fine silver powder not like Bars leak that can plug up the Hoover dam.

GM uses a product like tis in all new vehicles to sto[p minor plug leaks in the cooling system as it is quite common.

Yup, I remember a similar product. I'd like to track down the leak just to be sure it's not something else then, if it really is the freeze plug, use a sealer.

Remember: Assumption is the mother of all screw-ups...

Thanks for the brand name, 'preciate it.
