I know that it is not my engine! It was running great prior to this. I have a 6.0 2004 F250 Deisel. I have changed glow plugs, injectors, oil cooler, wiring harness and more. Now my coolant leaks out somewhere near the top of my engine. I am no expert. But does it sound like a bad water pump? I am hoping. I am at my wits end. I am being forced to sell my beautiful truck. But I need to fix this problem first. Please help!!!!

There are no signs of water in the oil or oil in the coolant. And it is not leaking from the radiator. Does this sound like a bad water pump?

 

if it is on the top of the engine it might be the egr cooler hose...have a look....between the oil filter housing and turbo look straight down. there is either an orange or blue hose down in the valley behind the oil cooler and turbo pedestal

 

Blue hose in this picture:


There is also a very large o-ring between the intake manifold and th front cover. Not a great picture here but you can see where it goes. In the round recessed area at the edge of the bottom of the picture.


Most of the other leak areas you can see pretty easy these two can be hard to get a bead on because they're kind of hidden.

 

thanks for that visual rusty

 

I had a coolant leak too after oil cooler and egr cooler replacement. I have included a link to my posts and replys

the fourth post down by m-chan68 saved my bacon. Hoping your repair will be as simple.

 

No problem DK! I was thumbing through some pics earlier and happened to see these. Thought it might help.

 

HI, MY 06 DID THE SAME THING, THE HEATER HOSE RUBS ON THE FICM THEN BLOWS, BUT U CANT TELL WHERE IT COMES FROM

 

CHECK THE HEATER HOSE THAT RUNS OVER THE FICM, I JUST HAD TO REPAIR MINE, I found out 05-06 they've had an issue

 

I just did my heater hose in the same area, right at the back corner of the FICM. Cut about a half inch out and used a hose kit from Autozone after looking at all of the hardware stores for a 3/4" barbed hose coupler. Good times.

 

Daddy kitty and Nice pics Rusty for the top side leak, also heater core and there was a tread on the vaccume dont know what its called by the heater core it leaks out of the screw on the top.the heater hose by the ficm I tied that hose back off the ficm bolt .are you seeing coolent on any one side besides the top on motor?
