Need help finding a leak.
I have a 2002 5.9L Ram 1500 2WD. I've replaced the water pump Thermostat and heater core
I am still leaking water it looks like I'm leaking water by the Timing Chain cover. Do I need to replace the cover or is it just a bad gasket. Also does the harmonic balancer need to come off as well to replace the gasket. And does anyone know tricks on how to get the clutch fan off do I need a special tool or will a big enough wrench work.

Just a gasket. Need to inspect the cover when you have it off, coolant tends to erode the aluminum..... RTV can be your friend if it isn't real bad.
Balancer needs to come off.
For the fan clutch, I put a big adjustable wrench on it, and smacked it with a hammer a couple times to get it to break loose, then it unthreaded by hand. (take the fan off before you remove the belt.)
