Water Dripping
My 04 6.0 is dripping coolant (running or not) from the back of the engine on the passenger side I can't tell exactly where it is coming from, it looks to be running around the back of the head and dripping down on the starter. The truck runs pulls and performs great and starts well. It has 60k on it. any ideas?
thanks

- oil cooler - if the gasket is damaged
- EGR cooler - gasket/ o ring damage or EGR itself leaking
- EGR cooler coolant deaeration port - that's the small hose going towards the degas bottle from the intake area.
To pinpoint where you losing coolant will be a PITA, be patient.

I have the same problem with my '03. It has happened twice in as many years. It seam to happen after an all-day run just when the weather changes towards cold. I have identified the problem as being the short hose that runs between the oil cooler and the egr cooler. It's on my list to change one of these days. It may be a warranty issue as I have read elsewhere in FTE; my truck is out. Good luck.
