    It appears that my leak was from a loose hose clamp at the bottom of the engine on the cross pipe near the radiator. The only tell was a stain on the pipe. After a good going over of the pipes and tightening / checking all in sight I have not lost any water since.

    I did notice a front drive shaft U/J needing replacing though.... bugger.

    good news!

    If the front shaft is on the way out, I would be removing it before you drive any further..... (providing you have the cdl)

    Well that's excellent news - and cost effective too!

    A bugger, but better to know, than not, eh?

    Yes,

    Good and bad news. The drive shaft is already out and under repair. CDL engaged and 2WD is in use. Very fun in the wet now!

    Found a puddle under the car today again.

    Traced to the fuel cooler. I have already had it out and apart this afternoon and identified that the 'O' rings inside the fuel cooler have perished. I am now trying to source some new 'O' rings. Until then I have lubed the 'O' rings with rubber grease and re-assembled the fuel cooler. So far no leaks.

    2 'O' rings sure beat $650+ for a new fuel cooler.

    Can you advise what is involved in this fix - I see the cooler is pretty easy to remove, does it simply come apart to find/replace the O -rings

    thanks in advance
