There is a water leak in the 92 perjero, I have researched this and I think it maybe the heater bypass hose. My questions are? Is this repairable by metal liquid?If so whats the best way to access this? Or will I need to replace the pipes if so how much work is involved in replacing the pipes? I have herd it takes a whole day and the inlet manafold will need to be taken off, is this correct? Whats the best way to remove the inlet manafold? Is there a web site that could assist me?

Kind Regards

Hoses normally means rubberised components and if you stre referring to the pipes, repair would only be a temporary solution because if one area leaks, the whole piece of pipe should be on its way out due to rust/corrosion. Patching one area would last till the next areas leaks.

Unless you know specifically which hose/pipe is leaking, it would not be possible to specify the time required. It can take more than a day, depending on which hose/pipe and tools available and mechanical skill.
