- 99 Ranger XLT
Hey Folks;
I'm new here and am hoping someone might be familiar with my problem. I have a 99 Ranger XLT 4X4 with the 4.0L V6.
For a while now I've been noticing the smell of coolant when I get out of my truck after driving it and had been having to top up the coolant every once in a while but couldn't tell where the leak was coming from.
Over the last couple of days the leak has become a steady stream that results in a pool of coolant under the truck after parking it. The leak stops shortly after the truck is turned off.
I checked the hoses and the water pump. They all seem fine. I got underneath my truck last night and the leak appears to be coming off the left (drivers) side of the engine block. I think it might be a drain plug or something similar, but the haynes manual I have doesn't seem to cover sources of coolant leaks that aren't either the water pump or a hose.
Can anyone help?
Regards
Jim
