1988 F-350 DRW
List:
After some years of (nearly) trouble-free performance, which is in itself remarkable for an aged vehicle @ 245K miles, my '88 F-350 began leaking coolant yesterday. I'm getting about 5 good drips per second, some from the joint between the vibration damper and the oil pan but mostly off the bottom of the oil pan behind the cross member. A quick look from above didn't reveal any wetness, but it was dark and I didn't have good light. I put about three quarts of straight water in the radiator to refill and return home.
So some further investigation is in order today. We can't be dripping any fluids in customers' driveways and this leak cannot be ignored in any case.
Regards,
