Here is the leak area from my 2006, 3500 4x2 CTD:



Truck is still under warranty.

The fluid is light pinkish and doesn't feel like transmission fluid, so it must be coolant. I'm taking it to the dealer on Wednesday with some fear and reservation, as I do not know what to expect from those guys.

Please fill me in on what is ahead of me. Thanks.

 

Coolant hose under the exhaust manifold behind the turbo is leaking. Typicla problem and the fix is replace the hose an clamops with an updated version.

 

Holly cow!! That was a quick diagnostic response. Right away I opened up hood, reached behind turbo and surely enough, there is a drip.

Thanks to no6ohno.

That information will give me more confidence while talking to the advisors. By the way, I fear them more then the doctors.

 

Don't blame you. There can be as obtuse and expensive as a doctor. Service advisors are more likely to be dumber than a box of rocks and can't make a living as a mechanic or salesman.

They can be as expensive as doctors also, scary combination.
