Hey Adam, did you check the oil cooler? is it holding pressure? I have seen one that had a small crack! Pump, i have installed pumps that failed after 2 month, i only use HEPU. Carefully check "G" cooling tube at pump junktion. http://www.benplace.com/engine/water_pump_overview1.jpg Also, check "F" cooling tube at pump junction! How is the "B" tube condition????? http://www.benplace.com/engine/oil_coolant_tube2.jpg But am sure that you DID check all thoses!!!! Just some suggestions. Regards, Ben (let us know, am curious!) http://www.benplace.com/ >>>>>>>>>>Folks, Frustrating weekend. Saturday morning i go out to the van and i see coolant under it. I start it up to watch, and i see it dripping slowly from the side of the oil cooler. So, I figure I will replace those 2 tiny hoses, cause it has to be them, right? So , a couple hours later, here i am back to square one. Same leak, only with 2 new hoses. Coolant dye into the system, but really cannot see anything because everything is so compact on the pulley side of the motor. So, Sunday, i figure it has to be the gasket on the water pump to the pipe that goes to the thermostat (not the oring side) it just looked like it could drip from there and down on the oil cooler. So a couple hours later that is replaced. Still the leak remains. The water pump is 3 months old, so i figure it is not bad...............has anyone had the big oring behind it leak? Frustrated in SC Adam P<<<<<<<<
