Hey guys, need some help on this one...
I have an 02 LB7 with 222,xxx miles. Its my daily driver. Lately, anout every 50 miles or so, i get the "low coolant" light that comes on, and when i stop to check it and fill it, i see it dripping from the fender well on the passengers side, and all down the side of the truck to the point of it dripping from the bottom of the passenger door.
My wife followed me home today, and said it was splashing all over her jeep...
Anywho, the other day, i pulled off the air filter to see it drenched in coolant (since thats where that dang overflow drain is) and the bottom of the air filter housing soaked in coolant. Not only that, its all over my truck, and filling the tank up daily is getting old...
When i get that low coolant light, i can pull over and open the top of the resivoir, and it all pulls back from wherever it is into the tank, so its not empty like the truck thinks.
Where is it all going? Whats wrong? Ive felt the upper hose after letting it sit, and its not firm, feels empty.
Could it be thermostats? In the winter, takes FOREVER to warm up, if at all. Does that matter? No coolant in oil, or vice versa...
Thanks for the help!
