coolant leaking from water pump bolt mopar

Pliers (channel lock and hose clamp types).

2 gallons of coolant (use Mopar HOAT coolant if your truck has that already in it).

I just don't want to make any mistakes because I didn't ask before hand. Do you think I should replace the gasket or reuse the old one with maybe a tiny bit of Permatex high temp (orange) around it? Do you have any advice for when I swap the tubes or re-install the intake? I really appreciate your helpful advice. The bottom has a gasket but it looks in decent shape. The EGR tube did pull out of the intake once I pulled the two bolts off at the bottom. Ironically Dorman or Napa could cross the o-ring number so I ordered two through my Dodge dealer. I took your Dorman part #'s for the tubes and ordered them through my Napa store as they were cheaper than going through Mopar. I decided to order both tubes and replace them both while I was at it. The hole is roughly the diameter of lead in a #2 pencil. I pulled the tube off to get a better idea of what was needed. The hole is roughly 6' from the turnup in the back which is why the coolant was flowing down the backside of the engine over the trans. Today after work I pulled the intake off to find the p-side HVAC tube has a hole in it. I want to thank you for all your helpful information.

Do the easy part first and check them at the back before pulling the manifold but most leaks like you describe I have usually found to be the o rings. The other shows where the metal lines meet at the back of the motor with their respective hoses, pointed at in red (don’t judge my drawing abilities lol).Įdit: these are the leads to the heater core lines. The first shows the top of the motor with no intake and you can see the black metal coolant lines running front to back of the motor. I’m willing to bet your leak is either the o ring that seals the metal line under the intake or one of the two hoses that these metal lines connect to.

These are visible without removing the intake manifold. They turn up toward the sky and meet with two rubber hoses. That second one is not really visible unless the intake manifold is pulled off.

There is one that wraps around to the driver side of the water pump and one that goes into the back of the timing cover. Thanks for any and all helpĬheck the two solid black metal lines under the intake manifold. Can anyone who has had a 5.7 leak in the same area chime in and let me know what they found and what they did to fix the issue? I know I am most likely going to have to pull the intake but I thought I would ask before I removed.

Does coolant run through the intake? If so is it common for the intake to crack or leak? The leak seems to be in the back as that's where the majority of the coolant is found and then I think its migrating forward. Its almost like the leak is directly under the intake. I squeezed all the heater core hoses and not one hint of a leak. I found the back of the block and the top of the transmission bell totally covered with coolant. I then noticed some simmering in the back. When I got home I noticed some coolant simmering just under the front of the intake where the intake runner met the head. I then took it for a test drive and the temp stayed in the middle. Today I replaced the thermostat and added 2gal of coolant and even pulled the air breather plug til coolant came out. I tried to shutoff and drift when I could to get home. Yesterday on the way to work I noticed I had no defroster heat. I have a 2007 Charger Pursuit with a 5.7 with 127k miles on it.

I hope people on here can help point me in the best direction to help determine the problem.
