As the title says, I have a very small but nonetheless existing water leak pooling up on the back of the valley pan after 20 minutes of running.
While I know I can have a new one swapped out inside a day, I'm hoping to just get the truck to self-propel enough to ship it out, in order to move.
Once at my new home I'll do the head studs at the same time, but for now, I am already behind schedule to get the house on the market. I've never intentionally driven any vehicle with a known issue like that, but then, I've only worked on gassers until now.
My question, as long as it isn't run for an extended period of time, I maintain the coolant, and it's only started to load and unload onto a transport, would it be at least moderately safe to just send it out?
As long as it isn't run for 20 or 30 minutes a drip won't even start.
Needs be I'll just do the valley pan and intake gaskets, just hate to waste the time and expense for a short term solution.
Thanks
