Getting to the valley?

Well i was changing the o rings on the fuel lines and dropped one of the new seals in the valley. Is there any secret way to get something out of there? I cant seem to find a way to see and really dont want to spend another $30 on a seal kit.


Also, when i was under the truck i noticed a line of dripped coolant down the motor. Should i be worried about this?

Thanks guys!

-Matt

Get a flashlight and a telescoping inspection mirror, and take a look around that way. If need be, soak up any puddles with paper towels, (being sure to check the soaked towels afterwards to see if any of your seals stuck to them).

As far as the coolant leak, I'd get under the truck and trace it. Depending upon where it's coming from, it could be anything from your water pump going out, to leaking seals or hoses.
