Another coolant leak - Land Rovers Only

apbtpetey · 02-19-2006, 08:42 PM

okay this is starting to really become a pain in the ass for me.

I replaced the head gaskets on my 97 Disco and everything was fine and dandy. I have been laid up from the scope on my knee and tomorrow I can actually drive again. So I go and start the Rover tonight becuase its been cold and has been sitting for over a week. I decide to check and see if she is leaking anything after sitting and I see what looked like coolant dripping from under her. I pop the hood and sure enough there is a puddle of coolant forming on top of the valley gasket. Where in the world could this be coming from the puddle is pretty much in the center (side to side) and on top of the gasket in the front area. This is really getting to me anything you all think I can check????

pressure test and see where the problem lies.

Well looked at it in the daylight and found it is leaking from the upper hose. So I ordered replacement and should be fixed in a few days.
