Coolant Leak

Post by danreimo »

My 2.1 DJ appears to have developed a coolant leak. I can see it is dripping from the underside of the engine.
Reading the WIKI it could be that the water jacket sealing rubbers have hardened and possibly caused the leak.
Any ideas of a quick fix. The Wiki suggests WYNNS COOLANT SEAL.
Has any one used this and where do you put it in via the radiator or the top up/expansion tank.

I know I should get the problem fixed properly but I am waiting for an exhaust system from Just Kampers as its blowing and corroded, and then get it all repaired at the same time.

Cheers

I would investigate the exact area of the leak..........it might be a simple pipe replacement (I say simple.......)

Cheers,

Have had a good look around today. The engine bay and around the engine are bone dry, yet to have time to get underneath so will get down to that tomorrow.
