I have coolant running down the passenger side of the engine in the front. At first I thought it was the T-stat housing leaking so I replaced the gasket and stat.

Has anyone had a similar leak? I'm having a hell of a time trying to see the leak because the alternator is in the way.

 

could possible to be the water pump leaking

 

That's what I was thinking. Coolant is running down the side of the front cover, It starts somewhere below the T-stat housing. The irritating part is I can't see it without a mirror.

It does look like that coolant bypass hose is leaking on the water pump as well.

I'm thinking about pulling the alternator real quick just so I can see better..



Fingers crossed that it's not a headgasket or front cover leak.

 

warm up your truck, then turn it off hook up a pressure hose to the radiator , remove the under shroud and put gloves on (White latex) then feel up (yeah yeah haha) around the front of your truck, You will either see or feel the location of the leak. What really works well is a black light.

I am betting its the water pump, I upgraded my pump to a high performance pump with 10 year warranty. Also do not let dodge install it of you will be paying huge for it.
