Help Identifying This Coolant Leak Please

Featured Replies

#1

About 2 months ago I had a Ford Dealer reseal the timing cover on my 2011 G6E Turbo. Almost as soon as I got the car back I could smell coolant but just figured there was residue around from when they did the work.
I then noticed the coolant level dropped so checked for leaks and have found one coming from the back of the motor somewhere but as space is very limited I'm having trouble pinpointing exactly where it's coming from.

I don't think it's the welch plug as it seems to be coming from above the bellhousing area.
Are there any other common places for leaks on these cars at the back around the back of the motor??

I included some (bad) pics...
Thankyou.

That's a hard one first I'd be checking hoses make sure no splits in hose or on the metal lines were hose connects to if not tighten clamps yourself nice and firm I wouldn't imagine ford having to take any of these off but u never no with ford sometimes if still carnt find take back as soon as possible explain wot is goin on make sure they are awaire that it was not a problem till they played with it as they are more then likely to hit u up for more money try to state it as firm as possible so they no your not happy if u bought the car new it sould be under warranty if u got the 5 year if second hand like I said go back even ask them to tell u exactly wot they did just seems a bit weirded after just changing timing cover hope all goes well for u.

I "would" usually take it back to Ford. But the warranty ended the day the timing cover was resealed (under warranty) and I haven't been very happy with their work or service and don't trust them to do a good job. I could potentially leave there with more leaks and a bill for the time it took them to cause the leaks :wwww:

When I get a chance I'll take it into my local mechanic but was hoping there was a common cause of leaks behind there.
