Is leaking coolant down the filter...

About 1/2 a QT every 100 miles or so. Been doing it for a while, but its getting worse now. Seems to be coming from the gasket at the block.

Its always something... LOL

Its not bad, just time consuming and NO fun.

You get a nice bath in coolant and oil. Get to completely drain your coolant system, and then refill it. All while crawling around on your back in the dirt or driveway.

Quite possibly the WORST job you can do on a 7.3.

And thats why I will more then likely put it off until its PISSING coolant... LOL

hmmm.. worse than an uppipe swap with a welded in downpipe.. on tennessee creepers in 95 degree heat?

I know my cooler has been bad for a bit. In the cold (below 10 degrees) on start up the oil cooler will puke 1/2 a cup of oil
