I think I bought the wrong truck... ('93 F-250 7.3 IDI)... there is a significant (drip but not pouring) coolant leak at the back of the engine somewhere. Can't prove the previous owner knew about it either, and when buying a used vehicle from a private party it's caveat emptor anyway. Rarely do I get burned though. Shoulda paid more attention to the low radiator level... oh well.
Anyway, I am concerned that it's a freeze plug behind the flywheel. I cannot feel anything wet on the rear of the heads or at the head/block line. It only drips noticeably when warm and the engine is running. Seems to be getting on the y-pipe. Pulling the trans will really be fun on a 4x4, too.
Any words of wisdom?
thanks
