Get onto a shop and beg ASAP if too busy yourself Rossco Mate!
Incredible how long lead times appear to be over the last few months since lockdown release on all things mechanical & off-road etc...
Can we find some quick time this weekend to hills pressure test the coolant system for starters squirts maybe?

The 747
The oil cooler is pretty easy to do, I did mine when it was out of the car but it's just a couple of o rings and a few gaskets inside it.
Would be much trickier in the car though. That one leaking would just be the large external gasket.

Cheers gents, sweet at least nothing to nasty by the looks of it, might do a Patrolapart trip soon, already have a bit of a list lol. . She's booked into Lilydale mufflers & towbars on Friday see how we go with the exhaust its currently finishing at the diff which isn't ideal so will be good to get that sorted and hopefully leave a good spot for water tank

Not sure whether to tackle myself or take into shop pretty busy ATM as always lol. . Also need to get into oil leak from breather that is making a mess everywhere. .

Hmmmmm. would be good to confirm where that coolant is coming from mate. a pressure test as MB suggested would be a good start. If could be as simple as a Welsh plug or something. but need to get onto it, it should not be there for sure.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Ghee thinking now though, How old is that motor mate? surely it has not blown a welsh plug? was that a fresh build?

Yeah tis, pretty certain it's coming from main oil cooler gasket. Also leaking coolant from bottom radiator hose clamp, it's tight but must just be elongated at the nut bit. . Another thing to the list lol. . .
