2014 coolant leak question

8.5K views 31 replies 12 participants last post by  tjkoen01  
maybe one of the hard lines running under the intake to bring coolant to turbo .
here are 2 pictures when it leaks at the banjo fitting on turbo .
under intake evaporates and pink waxy residue stays hidden .

..... The coolant tube on the front of the engine is on the other side, so I wouldn’t expect the coolant to be coming from there…but who knows.

..:unsure:
the HPFP is on passenger side ,
and the tube that spits from the degas bottle is also on passenger side , ( on 2014 and 2015 at least )
ends at mid height of rad .
 
Ah , sorry tjkoen01 , you are talking about the water pump bypass tube ...
i was referring to the tube that spits coolant out when cap on the degas bottle lifts from cooling system exceeds 21 psi .
the tube ends right there in front of the HPFP ...
apple and orange ....

.... Getting to the point to top it off now, haven't added since the EGR cooler recall was done last year.
Winter storm front on the truck, keep enough holes open for temps to stay mid 90's or against the thermostat at 91.

Oh, how I hate crawling around under there....
remember the way this is designed , the degas bottle will stay at an inch at the bottom , and the coolant
will start to go down "" inside the engine "" , so after you fill to the seem in the tank , the engine might
come to get what is missing in it , so double check and keep to the seem , that is the only way to
be sure the cooling system is not going to kill one of your
head gaskets ,,as described by Verndiesel in his warning thread ...
