Hi

I'm about 1200 miles from home add I pulled into a diesel station and noticed smoke coming from underneath my hood it turned out to be a pretty bad coolant leak. I have no idea what is wrong with it it was and stIll is not making any noises. Could thIs be a water pump, I thought typically I would notice some symptoms a I noticed nothing and now its spewing anti freeze everywhere. The fan has blown the coolant back all over the motor. Please any help you be great. I'm trying to make it to the airport to what my wife and daughter

The only leak my 06 has ever had, was the little hose behind the turbo.

It's notorious for leaking, and could be spraying on your exhaust man.
Good luck, and hope this helps.

Here's a link for ya.

Sounds like the water pump went out on ya, Fast repair with a few common hand tools and new pump. Only need to take off 2 bolts, need a drain pan to catch coolant. 5 gallon min. pan capacity. Remove belt remove two bolts and your half way done already.

 

Well what happened? I was out of town and off line.
