Heat exchanger.

You're Welcome.

Leak in the tubing inside the HX?

 

[Doug Cox]

That would be my guess if its not external.

 

[Papa John]

Heat exchanger.

But wouldnt that cause alot of coolent loss? Like gallons a day?
I ask because the same is true for my blueline, but its not extreme loss of coolent.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

A HX leak would let high pressure water from the cleaning side into the low pressure engine coolant side, overfilling it.

Maybe the HX had an air bubble that hadn't been burped earlier?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

There should be a little petcock (valve) on the hx, similar to the drain on a radiator.

While the machine is running slightly open that petcock, carefully, until water comes out.

Oh--needing to burp HX is normal? Thats good news.

Could be a really small head gasket leak. Not big enough to cause white smoke. But heat exchanger is likely. Hopefully it just had some air bubbles. Bleeding coolant systems can be a pain. Hope it works out.

 

[Doug Cox]

Yeah, I think Lee is right. I forgot the pressure of the water would override the coolant system pressure.

Did you figure it out?

No Shit? How about clueing everyone in so maybe we could learn something.

Can't you read between the lines?

In the future we will require a $10 refundable deposit to answer such questions.

I had a pin hole leaks in a coolant line that took me forever to find once. It was evaporating on the intake manifold.

 

[Justin Legend Brands]

Did you figure it out?

We found that the coolant heat exchanger was once replaced without burping it. He is going to burp the heat exchanger, then if he needs to, he will pressure test the radiator and see if there is a leak somewhere.

thank you justin much appreciated

 

[Justin Legend Brands]

thank you justin much appreciated

Did it just need the helicoil burped or did you have to pressure test the system?
