This looks like a great group, I hope we can contribute as well as receive.
Apologies for starting with a question but I just got this patrol at a good price only to find a small coolant leak dripping from the compressor. The previous owner says it regular went up and down the coast so not sure how serious this is. Reading forums it looks likely to be the seal behind the timing cover. No bubbling at tank and oil is clear so it looks like just the water side affected. I have no spare cash so will need to do this myself.
Can anyone advise how many hours work and if any special tools needed or difficulties arose?. Some people say the engine has to come out but several posts say not.
All advice welcome
