I could not really see where it was leaking from (was at the store and was not able to jack it up to look). Checked visible hoses and did not seem to be involved. Not a catastrophic leak but at least a quart or more leaked out. It has occurred twice intermittently and seems to occur after an extented drive with AC on. Did not leak after drive home with AC off. Heater core??? No leaking into truck that I have seen. Would appreciate any thoughts on where the leak could be? Thanks.   Will Weatherford (Wweatherford) New Member Username: Wweatherford Post Number: 10 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Sunday, April 27, 2003 - 09:26 am:    Chk out thread discussion from yesterday...Coolant Lost - Head Gasket?

Or or condensation from the A/C?   Joe Still (Joedisco) Member Username: Joedisco Post Number: 71 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 07:05 am:    I had exact same circumstane the other day. Turned out had a pin hole leak in heater hose that was peeing down toward bellhousing. Replaced the hoses (5/8" one end- 3/4" the other---gotta love Landrover!). Too soon to tell if that was only source.   Jared Schnelle (Jared) Member Username: Jared Post Number: 90 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Saturday, May 03, 2003 - 12:34 pm:    Joe I had the same exact pinhole leak in the same exact hose Had to replace that little hose, for like 17 bucks.
