Hi folks,
I have a 1989 NF Pajero with the 6G72 petrol V6. I've only had it for a few months but it has been going strong and is a good car.
Unfortunately it has recently developed a substantial coolant leak which I have been struggling to track down. Coolant is dripping steadily from the bottom of (below) the front crank oil seal. I guess the source of the leak is somewhere higher up, except that can't see any evidence of the leak elsewhere on the engine.
I've searching looking for suggestions on the web and I can't see any obvious signs of coolant in the valley or around the water pump. There is a bead of moisture around the very front of the sump gasket. It's hard to see much else in spite of having tried with a small mirror and a little flexible camera. I really can't figure out where the source of this leak could be. I pulled the power steering pump off on the weekend to look behind there, but that didn't offer any further clues. I've tried a bottle of the head gasket/leak sealant stuff but that didn't help unfortunately.
Any tips would be most sincerely appreciated.
Cheers,
David
