Hello everyone,
I have a 6.9 that has a slow coolant leak out the rear drivers side of the head gasket, there appears to be no coolant in the oil or vice versa, it leaks maby a 1/2 quart per 100 km, in addition to this there are very small bubbles appearing on the rear of the head gasket with the engine on, I got some bars leak to put in the cooling system but have refrained as there are a few white/black floaties in the coolant. My proposed plan of action is replace the coolant with turbo power diesel coolant, put the bars leak in, drive another 5000 or so km until winter is upon us and then do a retourque of the heads as i will have plenty of time then. however please weigh in with your opinions and experience, this is my first diesel, and I love it. but it also has a job to do.
Thank You,
Aram
