Engine Cooling problem
1988 Isuzu Trooper 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual
----------------------------------------------------------------
There are a few coolant hoses that run behind the head. Somewhere back there is a leak. I can barely see hose clamps, Tees, Elbows and such back there. Is there some magic to locating the leak? Am I going to have to pull the head or drop the engine or something to fix this?.....Thank you, BB

Hi there,

get hold of a good light, a mirror and pressure test the system, carefully check with the light and mirror to locate the leak, you may have to air dry the area first to remove any excess water. try this first and report back how you get on.
