Hello,
I changed my coolant thermostat yesterday (temp was to low) and now I think I found a cooling liquid leak next to the drain plug of the radiator (there I can see collecting cooling liquid drops). See attachment.
Here some more information:
I made a test drive and after 15 min I stopped the truck and saw drops coming from the plastic cover of the radiator. After driving the same way back for 15 min I checked once again and it looked like that it stopped dripping.
Later I made a test in idle speed with the removed radiator cover:
For the first 8 to 10 min till the motor was on full temperature there where no visible drops Then it started once again building drops of coolant.
Please help.
