[TJsGQ]

G'day all how ya goin..

Bad new just drove my troll home from a friends n the temp gauge went all the way up.. Got it home n there's a hissing coming from near the starter moter n something is loosing water.. Being night time hard to see to much with a torch.. Will investigate more tomorrow just thought if throw it out there for ideas.. Did take it 4wdin earlier today n there was Mud involved lol.. Drove it back from there on 45 min trip n no dramas with heating could it when I high pressure cleaned underneath the car when i got home i may of loosin a hose I'm really hopin so..! Any ideas of hissing n loosin water would be greatly appreciated before I attack it tomoz

Did you keep driving while temp high? Maybe a hose leak, pin hole is making the hissing,you'll know more in daylight.

Thanks mate by the time the temp rose I was at home.. Only a 5min trip.. Yeh but If its just a pin hole would it account for a fair bit of water dripping..?

The fact that the noise is coming from the back of the block makes me think it is more likely a dodgy welch plug. You will be able to see more in the morning but that is where I am putting my money.

I split a heater hose 2 hours into a 8hr trip. Was upsetting. They are at the back, mine went hot and was hissing. Food for thought. Nissan hose prices almost made me cry haha.

Pin hole under pressure might account for the dripping.

Any tips on how to find the leak

Get it to operating temp cap still on so it's under pressure and look and listen.

Go easy with those high pressure washers they will force water into some very weird places.
especially be carefull with the radiator it might render it useless. Just use with finger off trigger.
