I love the comfort and ride of my old Dodge Grand Caravan 2000. So it is with dismay and sorrow that I realize I might have to give her up due to a suspected event.

My white coolant container is dry and that means something is amiss.

I think the thermostat is functioning properly, yet my wife has complained of the heater not throwing out heat soon enough.

I don't have the patience to fix an expensive problem such as gasket removal et cetera even though I might theoretically have the ability, and I am not really willing to put out thousands of dollars...

Guess I'll go to my garage this morning put some green stuff or water in and start doing some minor detective work on loose fittings and garage floor evidence, if any.

Wish me luck and God's blessing.

I have a 1999 Dodge caravan 3.3L V-6 with a coolant leak right below the thermastat between the engine and the timing cover. Most likely a blown O-ring. Yes? Now how hard is it to fix and will there be a need to drain the oil as well as the coolant?

 

nobody got back to u about it? Did u find problem? I might have same.

 

Yes, please send them over. Thank you.
