BobsShelbyDakota Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Hello, Time has been slow to come by lately and therefore I have not had time to do much with the S/Dak. My problem though is the engine leaks coolant from the rear left side of the engine somewhere. When I bought the truck it did not have a fan assembly and the oil was 2 inches above the full mark. There is no coolant in the oil. Could it be a blown head gasket? I am gussing here, but maybe they overheated it due to a bad fan, took the old fan out to replace and gave up after the leak appeared. I know there are freeze plugs but they look okay but I can't guarantee this even though I can't see the ones in the rear. Any opinions would be great! I am thinking blown head gasket, does this sound logical? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbymotorsports Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 If by left rear side you mean the drivers side of the engine I would look at freeze plugs and the heater control valve. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Yes, drivers side (I always go left and right while sitting in the truck). I did not look at the heater control valve but there are no hoses going to or coming from the heater core in the fire wall. Head gasket not a real possibility?
