6.0 Diesel TOP Coolant Leak Points!

[@rachelgarcia7049]

We discovered our water leak today… thankfully. We replaced the top half of our engine in august of 2020… almost spent 8k on it and this part was new almost 3 years ago… and has failed already. #1 was our problem. Thank you for saving our minds trying to find this in our ‘04 Ford f250 power stroke. Our truck went down the day Covid shut the US down.

Coolant leak is at the water pump and the oil is coming from somewhere in the valley and down the bellhousing. Hopefully I find it when I take the turbo off to clean up the unison ring area.

I have a 6.0 that was slightly leaking past the clamp on the hose at the bottom of the degas bottle. It dried up when the engine warmed up so I am adding a narrow screw clamp next to the spring clamp.

[@HELLRIDAZ972]

fingers crossed it's from 2 or 1. I've got ARP studs and I'd hate to have that headache. I pulled it in the shop to check out my exhaust because it's a little loose at a band clamp and noticed some drippage. We will have to see what the issue is.

[@zackzander425]

Mine rubbed on the FICM like that, but a lot of it was probably my fault because I deleted the EGR system with an ODAWGS Diesel intake and I had to splice a coolant line into it pulling it down closer to the FICM. The FICM going bad when it did probably saved my ass because when I pulled it off the hose was almost rubbed all the way through. Couple thousand more miles and I might have been stranded in a very remote area.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Good catch

[@matthewcox3399]

There's another spot too that I'm currently dealing with, its the plastic sections on the actual radiator that are currently separating from the radiator itself where the little metal tabs are.

I also have a coolant leak right by rear block plug on the backside of the motor on drives side, the header bolt and everything around it is wet. My only concern I can't spot any leaks from hoses and can't tell if the plug is the actual leak.

[@chrisdb4278]

Just found a leak. Possibly a #5. Coolant is getting on the outside of the driver's side frame rail, just forward of the wheel well. Looks like coolant might be dripping on top of the curved portion of the plastic fender well liner, underneath the battery or air filter, then when the coolant gets to the forward flat section of the fender liner, it gets on the frame rail and runs down the outside. This just started and left a nickle sized wet spot on the driveway. Is it possible the leak is the degas bottle and it runs down the hoses all that way? Not sure of the hose routing under the battery and air filter.

[@alberttowner4651]

What did you find out about this leak? I have the same leak at the same area. Did you find out what it was ????????

[@chrisdb4278]

@@alberttowner4651 My leak was the degas bottle (coolant reservoir). Leaking not at the bottom hose connection like usual, but at the seam where the top is joined to the bottom portion of the container, and it was only at the seam where it faced the firewall. Found this by reaching under the reservoir when the truck had been driven a while and felt the bottom of the reservoir was wet, though no visible sign of leaks. When parked, the way the coolant drips on all the stuff below it, the puddle ended up in the location I described, as opposed to further aft like you'd think. Got a replacement degas bottle from Autozone, was not expensive, and replaced it in maybe half an hour. Note that I siphoned as much coolant as I could out of the reservoir in order to re-use it. It holds more than you'd think.

My 2003 6.0 is leaking coolant near the power steering pump. It appears to be leaking from the front cover once it’s up to temp. Fairly minor but it’s seeping. Is the front cover gasket a bad job?

i have fluid leaking onto my starter. It’s nasty and orange at the bottom but darker on top on the starter. It keeps making the the engagement of the starter go out

Did you figure out what it was, same problem on mine

[@bryanheuser4983]

Mine is leaking from below the water pump. So I replaced the water pump and it's still leaking. I cleaned the housing and everything. So I'm not sure if it's the water pump. Does anyone have an answer to this? Thanks

Currently leak from 1 and 2 hahah had to pull the turbo to fix 1

[@OutdoorCQB]

Noooooo lol... I was gonna ask about 1. I really don't wanna pull the turbo.. I couldn't even get the downpipe off today to check for oil.. I'm afraid I won't be able to get everything back together lol. What is the fix? You just buy some hose and reclamp it?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Watch my turbo video, i had it off in 10 min!!!!

[@matsgarageandstuff]

It took some finesseing of the turbo to get it off once you get the turbo off its not that bad I recommend cleaning out boost controller valve and oil cooling ports. Turbo tends to get gunk built up around the boost controller valve. And yes you will need to replace a 3 inch or less 3/4inch hose.

[@OutdoorCQB]

Just confirmed the leak with a pressure test kit I got off Amazon. So yeah I'll have to go ahead and get that turbo off
