2 remaining leaks..what are these????




6L Turbodiesel

I still have this returning oil drop on the oil pressure regulator. That fluid does seem to be oil.

Now I found what appears to be coolant dripping off the power steering pump. I have had to add a small amount of coolant every week...not much but definitely noticeable.

I have a new OPR which I will replace. Any other ideas? These pics are from looking up at the mail pulley and to the left (power steering)

First off you have a klempson avatar.... that may be a leak


You look like coolant as you stated... have you looked at the tee fitting for your aftermarket coolant? That's where mine leaked for a long time until I got the right clamps on it. Having to add coolant every week may not seem like a lot but it is. do you have any puddles in the driveway? Can you smell it after driving like its spraying under pressure?

OK looks like I'm 99% sure this is coolant. I used the CSI flight of the bullet pointer technique. After 2 hrs of searching, the highest point of the leak I can find is that sensor(??) way up high almost out of sight. Is that a water temp sensor?? The bottom bolt has orange on it. I was able toget a ratchet on it and got maybe an 1/8th of a turn. I dried it all off and am hoping against hope that it is magically fixed. Anyone had any trouble with this??
