I have a 2012 Ford Explorer base model v6. My coolant leaks right above my driver side muffler and it smells bad. I’ve brought it to a shop they said was fine but it’s just progressively getting worse. I need help trying to find either the full lines to replace them or if anyone knows any tricks...

I just replaced my Thermostat . The engine is running 20 degrees hotter. Now my thermostat housing gaskets are leaking. This diagram calls for parts 7 and 8. I have not found these parts in the engine cooing section of the service manual. Auto zone was able to sell me part number 7 and orlies...

Hi everyone. Over the past few months I noticed a very small amount off coolant on my driveway when the vehicle cools down after a long drive. It was never a concerning amount and due to the vehicles age I was not too concerned. I monitored the reservoir and it never reached a low level...

I have a '98 Explorer, the engine and radiator were replaced in Dec. 2014 by my local Ford dealer. Since then it has been burning through antifreeze - and by 'burning through', I mean I put between 6-8 gallons in it per year since it was replaced, and on par to do the same this year. There are...

And now mine is leaking. 2010 Eddie Bauer, 4.0 V6, 4WD, Auto. Purchased in late March. Appears that the dealer replaced the radiator, Thermostat housing, and upper radiator hose. There has been a smell since day 1 and I need to top off the coolant every other week or so. No sign of a leak...

Greetings, Looking for help on where my coolant is going to... Have an 02 Explorer with the 4.0 SOHC engine, high miles (286K). Coolant has been disappearing from the system at about 16+ ounces a week but can't find where it is going, have checked the following: Pressure tested the system, It...

Thanks for any info or tips! I have a 2001 Explorer Sport Trac 4x4 Recently my coolant temp sensor went bad and before I could fix it I developed a leak. I've since replaced the sensor and thermostat. The weird thing is some days I get just drips other days I lose quite a bit of coolant...

I'm looking for a timing cover for my 91 ford explorer sport v6 I had a coolant leakage through it but have currently stopped it for right now with some my stop leak. I would just like to know where the best place to find one would be so I could have one just in case.

hi, I’m new here. I have a 03 Ford Explorer. I have a crack at the Y or T (see in picture) I can’t fint the part to replace it. I tryed to seal it just to get by until I could find the part. But now one of the hoses fell out of the Y or T. It’s the hose by the arrow. It’s easy to get to I...

I put in a new radiator yesterday. No drips from front end but there is a drip or leak from underneath passenger seat. It’s very faint but you can see where the snow is stained green. What is doing there ? Do coolant lines run that far back ? Thanks.

2010 Explorer XLT 4x4, V6 Hi all, I've had this Explorer for a few months. It was a well-maintained fleet vehicle, and I've had no major issues with it. I've been monitoring a tiny coolant leak from the thermo housing. It will only get worse and I will replace it eventually. So I topped off...

Original motor in this well-maintained vehicle with a lot of miles. Noticed slight overheating occasionally over the last year or so; gauge would fluctuate up very fast and then down in a few seconds, right after getting on the road. Coolant was low, so I topped it off and the problem...

2000 rwd with 4.0 soho with ac. i have a coolant leak which appears to be coming from the right side (pass) of the pump. I just can’t get a good look at it to really verify it. I am thinking to pull off the alternator, alt bracket, and tensioner just to verify it. May put everything back on...

In the last year my 91 Ex has been steadily loosing coolant, causing it to overheat. When I first noticed this it was a minor amount, but progressively got worse. Then I noticed that even when the coolant levels were topped off, it would still overheat a little on hills. It's kind of hard to...

I have a 92 explorer. It overheated yesterday after driving around a hilly park at slow speeds for about a half hour. I cooked it down and put water and what coolant I had in it. Now idling in the driveway it starts to heat up after 5 minutes and coolant starts overflowing from the fill tank...

I have a 2000 Ford Explorer XLS, 4.0L OHV engine with 188k miles. ****Long story starts here, skip to "Short Story Starts here" for current issue, or "Really Short Story Starts here" if you are really, really impatient!!******* Three or four weeks ago it started losing coolant...

Greetings, My 08 Ltd 4.6 radiator has had it. I am pretty sure the car was in an accident of some sort before I got it (with 60k) as there is some misalignment of some front end body parts. I *think* it is the original rad as it is stamped 10-17-2007 on the mfr date code. That said, the...

Stock 2007 4.0 L V-6 Explorer Hello: Yesterday my wife drove our X about 30 miles into the city and back to where I work. It was idling for about 15 minutes maybe. When she began to drive away, a co-worker noticed water/coolant starting to pour from under the engine. I was able to look at it...

Alright guys, I have been losing about 1 gallon of coolant a month, very slow leak. I am now losing about a gallon a week.....I have looked everywhere, changed a few hoses. One thing I noticed is that coolant seems to be pooling ON TOP of the engine. Here is a couple pics.....where the heck...

So I've know that I had a few minor leaks since I got my Explorer last year. I just recently replaced my valve cover gaskets and cleaned up that minor oil leak. Now I have a coolant leak that seems to be getting worse. I had thought it was this hose here This is on the bottom driver side of the...

*****UPDATE****** So I was actually able to fix the problem that I was having with the dome lights remaining on even after the doors were closed after an extended period of time. The problem was the door ajar switch located in the driver door. I ordered the part from AMAZON and for those who...

My 08 Limited lost most of the water and went into self protect mode which scared the crap out of my son. I didn't know what is was until I read the owners manual. The stupid thing has no low coolant warning. The leak was hard to find because the leakage runs down the bottom of the hose then...

A family member had noticed that it looked wet in a specifc part of my engine while we were taking a look and refilling the coolant. I had noticed something similar a while back, but I was foolish and thought it was just rain. I think that was a mistake :P I use 50/50 coolant and the level...
