For the last month i been smelling coolant cooking like it was leaking around the engine somewhere... but could never find where the leak was... could only smell it when the truck had been ran and smelled like the leak was somewhere on the passenger side or whenever i walked past the front of the truck... but yet never could i find the source of the smell...
today i was working under the truck without running it.. (was installing a hose clamp a friend sent me for the lower radiator hose.. early 6.0's didnt get a clamp to keep the hose off the drag link but later models did).. i happen to look up and see the drag link and crank pulley wet with coolant colored water... but still wasnt sure if it was the intake donut or the water pump...
luckily dad had bought a bore scope camera... couldnt find the source at the donut.. went underneath and fished the probe up around the pulleys and low and behold a very wet waterpump pulley... so looks like ill be changing the water pump now...
