Water Pouring out of bell housing.

[Macrobb]

I'll also point out that this is why we run coolant instead of water in the cooling system. It's got all sorts of corrosion inhibitors in it to prevent even mild steel or cast iron from corroding/rusting.

And, while on a 6.9 you don't generally need to worry about cavitation, I'd still recommend a good HOAT coolant that works fine with old seals like my go-to Zerex HD ELC coolant.

I sold a freeze plug tool to a member out there, maybe he will loan/rent it out to you, I will consider renting one to you, PM me

Thanks, I will pm when i get the trans pulled and am for sure thats the issue. Dont mind putting a deposit up either. Just hard to justify buying one outright for the little use it will see.

If Im going to have the trans out anyways. Would a new Torque converter be smart? Truck either has 160k or 260k.

thanks

That's where I launched my cooling system when I was towing this mess through the pass back in late summer. Damn. a little far. If you were in the SFBA, I'd loan it to ya. When you're close by, I have means for recourse.

Here's a picture of the rear of the engine. It may be of some help to you.

 

[beckty85]
