Coolant leak, Cab off AGAIN!

[boostd6.4]

I have an ever increasing coolant leak from the pass. side of the engine compartment.......

I have the Full EGR delete, BOV, etc, etc. ANy one have any ideas on what could be leaking from the pass. side.

I go through 1 gallon of coolant in 100 miles....

Thanks

Possibly the heater return tube. It is plastic, runs down the passenger side of the engine, and is very easy to break. Also it can be a PITA to change.

That coolant line may also seem to be leak free until under pressure, then you will see a hairline crack develop and ooze coolant. That would for sure be the first thing I would look at. Other than that line, there are not many places for coolant to leak on the passenger side of the motor. Good luck with it!

Also, that line can be changed without removing the cab.... just a thought!

I will check this out by removing the inner fender......

You should be able to see it without removing the fender. just remove the airbox or whatever you have and you can see the line and inlet to the core

First Ford is correct. I had to put mine back on in a grocery store parking lot and didnt have the tools to take out the air box. Taking out the air box will be much easier than not.

Thanks everyone for the info! I really REALLY appreciate all the feedback!

It was a heater hose! Under warranty! NICE!!!! First warranty item on the truck covered!

I will pick it up tomorrow, then hopefully the Spartan 350 tune and some track time this week.....
