Pressure testing my Ford Bronco 5.8 - COOLANT LEAK!

Quick video on using a pressure tester to locate a coolant leak. Dodged a bullet on this one and it ending up being a loose hose clamp! I was prepared with a new thermostat housing and gasket just in case.

Had the same leak, thanks for the video.

Mine did the exact same thing. It was such a slow drip, coolant was slowly running over the "ledge", and then running down the crankshaft pulley, it was mimicking a timing cover gasket leaking, or the water pump. Thank god i checked the simplest things first. New upper radiator hose and new clamp, and now knock on wood its been 3 days and no drips. Keeping fingers crossed! Thanks for posting!

Whats the make and model of the coolant system pressure tester

[@ronshuman7656]

yea the rental at the auto parts was an exspensive tester..lots of caps.....but none to fit an american radiator. 30 mile ride back to auto store. the guy says its brand new and fits all of them..i said well fit it. none would fit wifes 2005 town n country..none would fit my 93 f150..5.0. so make sure you look at these shinny china rigs...

[@abelvalle6188]
