Our hemi has 160,000 miles. a few months ago there was a fluid leaking from up in front of the driver side cylinder bank. Now today we noticed fluid leaking from around the bottom 2 tranny bolts. not sure about the color from the front, but the one we noticed today is water viscosity with an orange tint. Coolant?

could use any ideas.

oil gets changed every 3000 miles and trans fully serviced every 50,000. don't think we've done any coolant flushes/servicings yet.

 

dammmmm thats awesome you got that many miles on her and she is still runnin strong you must baby her my hat is of to you

 

Yep, awesome mileage. My '03 is just shy of 100K. Sounds like coolant to me. Orange is the right color.

 

my coolant from the dealer is pink.

 

It's my dad's truck- all those miles are almost 90% highway and interstate miles. Company pays 50 or whatever cents per mile plus any servicings.

My dad says he's finally found the one on the front, it's a leaky thermostat housing he thinks. But the on in the rear has us confused- it's obviously leaking from somewhere up block. Dad thinks either back of the cyl heads or the rear freeze plug?

figures probably get everything looked at when he gets the coolant flushed before too long...at 1000 miles per week, it should be around 175,000 if not sooner.

 

Could be power steering fluid, that'd be long past when the racks seem to go...

 

but it's coming from the back of the block. it's dripping from the bottom 2 tranny bolts, but pretty sure it's coming from up block, e think the freeze plug or the back of one of the cylinder heads.

the front we think we've pinpointed to the thermostat housing but not sure.

 

Heater core dripping from the a/c drain in the firewall perhaps?

 

not to be captain obvious, but i'm not sure how that went ignored. will forward the option when parents wake up in morning

 

Just grasping at straws here
Never know, I've seen it happen.
