1997 Ford Explorer XLT. Coolant leak.

[lparsons]

Hi there I have a question for anyone that might have any ideas for me.
Our 97explorer has been using coolant for quite some time. But the problem is that we cannot find any viusal signs of leaking anywhere. Would anyone have any ideas where to start looking. We have used a camera to look in tight places, engine is running ok, starts easily. no signs of water in the oil. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Leanne.an Gordon.

Hi Thanks for replying so soon. Those webpages you sent me were a great help. Gordon is at this moment removing the black cover so as we can access the inlet manifold, Had a bit of a problem finding all 8 bolts. Now lets just hope we get the cover off without breaking it. Once again thanks for the info. It was a really great help. We will let you know how it all goes once we finish the repairs. Leanne an Gordon.:australia

I've renamed your thread, and moved it into the International Explorers section. Connect a cooling system pressure tester onto the cooling system to locate the leak.
