Unable to locate TB42 coolant leak - what are some of the less obvious areas?
Hi guys
I had a slight water leak from a TB42 carb motor. I flushed and replaced main hoses as these were leaking and I assumed the culprit. The radiator cap was replaced also as the system was not coming up to pressure. Now when I stop the vehicle it dumps a bunch of fluid accumulated in the front tray located under the radiator front of engine area. The timing chain alloy cover is also nicely sprayed green. I ran a descaler through the engine during flushing and now under pressure it seems to have opened a new leak.
With the engine running i could not see a leak from above. However when off I found a few drops, via a rag, under the water pump; however not the stream i would have expected.
Do these engines have any less obvious areas they leak from towards the front of the engine? (Mine is a carby thus doesn't have the allow oil cooler arrngment)
