2003 ML500 - coolant leak from back of the engine
Hello all,
I just picked up a 2003 ML500 for cheap due to a few issues. The biggest concern is that the car has a significant coolant leak. The leak is coming from the back of the engine on the passenger side. Any ideas of what it could be? Any recommendations for a side mechanic in the San Diego/mission beach area? |
It could be the overflow pipe. When you overfill the coolant tank the extra coolant gets pushed out from the overflow pipe which is on the right side.
It could be a broken/cracked hose. You must locate the exact location of the leak |
Yeah, a cracked hose or even cracked expansion tank was my thought.
I don't think it's the overflow hose. Does the M113 engine have anything else that could leak in the back? Does it have a "valley pan" gasket? |
Lukas, don't you think it's time you changed your username? Now that you're on your third Benz, unless you're planning to downgrade in future?

LOL. Good observation.
I actually have a 335i with mods. Picked up the ML500 because I practically got it for free and wanted a "beach car." When the warranty on the 335i is up, I want to get back into an SL. I actually had asked for a username change but it was never granted. |
