Hey guys I have a 97 Ram 2500 with the 5.9L gas in it.. I just noticed this morning a coolant puddle on the driveway. When I look up I can see the coolant trace coming from the timing cover. Would it be leaking from the waterpump and just following the block down around the timing cover? If Need I can try to get a picture but im not sure how well it will come out. Any help would be great.

 

You should clean the whole area and then inspect. It could be leaking from temp sensor, upper hose, therm housing, bypass hose and yes, WP or timing cover.

 

ok well I got the truck apart lastnight. Almost seems like the leak was coming from the one bolt that goes through the timing case cover it didnt seem too tight. So when I put it back together I used some sealant on the bolts to help them seal better. I didnt get it all back together because it got too dark out.
