I have a Dodge 2001 24 valve that has begun to leak coolant somewhere at the rear of the engine. It trickles down to the bell housing. Did a pump test on the radiator but still could not locate the leak. Has anyone had this problem before?

 

Not a fun fix............ Could be head gasket, could be the rear freeze plug.

Hard to fix either way.

head gasket for sure. same area where mine leaked!

 

Thank you both for the help. Sounds expensive, but will have to open up the wallet. Truck means to much to me!

 

Found out it was the rear freeze plug, had them tap it and install a threaded plug.
