Head gasket leak??

[Katavic918]

Are you sure its not diesel? Have you tried disconnecting the intake heater fuel line after running the truck?

I suppose it could be diesel/WMO, will check it out, I see why most of you guys do away with the heater!!

Ya, I did away with mine. Got tired of it leaking and it neve did work well. Put on a block heater.

I won't get to work on it until sat as I have two engine rebuilds due on Friday and a AC prowler throttle cable, Cv shaft, and have to get the mud out of the rear diff. My stuff is ALWAYS last!!

Good news is I don't think it's the turbo as it has near zero movement in the shaft, in the process of deleting the flame heater now, got most of it removed and have to read about what to do with the supply line from the IP.

Plugged it, it's gone!!

This time of year, I ALWAYS get random leaks on my MVs, and those that I've overhauled for customers get returned around this same time of year for random leaks also. When springtime hits, and the weather warms up, the leaks generally tend to disappear until next January. Cold spells have been common this winter, and cause all kinds of funky problems with these older vehicles.

Take Gimp's advice and go run your truck hard; it will blow out a lot of residual crap and get everything nice & settled in once everything warms up.

Good sound advice !
