found the leak rocker cover at the front, just changed it its stuck on and sealed up old gasket gone hard.
now tomorrow i find out if it really was "the" leak or "a" leak lol

Did you fit those new rims on your truck @yozer13

no put them in my nans garage and forgot about them lol they need centers painting and two need welding up.

They will look good when done

Today I have sorted my crap radio reception, turned out that the only thing earthing the stereo was a ring terminal resting on the ashtray surround. Also swapped the cigar lighter for a permanently live USB socket charger and added another to the back of the centre console.

Aand, looked at the front bumper for mounting my light bar, assume the metal underneath is the structural bit of the bumper - how hard is removal to get better access?

take the grill off u may be able to get where u need to

turns out it was just "a" leak not "the" oil leak time to bite the bullet and do the crank seal again or see if works will do it again. trouble is i had a full gasket set for free as it was unused on a engine job when the motor never got rebuilt and was just sat in the stores gathering dust, so i said to the guy doing it throw them seals in while the belts off, so a favour gone wrong good news is i can get a new one for like £1.20

One from the dealer is about £30

Relay box and fuse box are now in and wired up , just waiting for the last of the lights to turn up and the conduit for running power to the tub

did my crank seal today after having it done with the belt and it started to leak...
might had a lil run and it was dark may have seen a drip forming on the sump lip
looks like ill be doing it again i did notice the oil pump drive had a score mark where the seal sits so ill be changing that aswell.
thought id do my drop link bushes snapped the nut off so just removed the bar for now but still got a knock either lower bj or arm bushes. and my cvs are split with alot of endfloat on the o/s.

@Alan G do you know if theres a oring or anything that sits behind the oil pump drive gear ?
Cheers

Nope. Nothing that I have found anyway.

rad cap will be my first port of call, funny it only does it on the Mway on long hills pushes the coolant out into the expansion bottle

Thermostat @123hotchef
Is your radiator in need of a clean if you have been playing in the mud

rad is clean mate i even straightened some of the fins

could it really be the stat

When mine did it I changed the rad cap and thermostat and cured it

oh yes i remember was ur stat fooked?

Don't know just changed both and chucked the replaced parts without testing lol

i didnt really want to drain it down again but looks like i will have too

When I changed the stat not much water drained as I had it lifted up front
