Question by PiscesPassion: Water leaks around the engine of a 1985 Ford F250 diesel truck?
My husband recently bought a 1985 Ford F250 diesel truck for $ 1000 w/out telling me… He loves it, I think it was a bad deal… very cracked front windshield, diesel smell is nauseates me, I think he could have paid less for it, etc, etc… but he loves it.
This week the truck overheated on his way home from work and ended up “parked” for a few days… My husband had no time to take a look at it due to work). Yesterday was his day off and he spent almost all day trying to figure out where the water leaks were coming from… and ultimately it seems the water leaks are around the engine somewhere.
I know this might not make sense for me as a woman who knows absolutely nothing about cars (let alone trucks), but my husband wants me to research online and see if there are any suggestions. That’s how he told me to ask, too, about “water leaks around the engine”.
Can anyone suggest anything???
I would appreciate it =)
PS: I’m trying so hard not to have the I-told-you-so attitude regarding his truck in general, because I try not to be a “nagging wife”… plus his happiness means the world to me, so I’m only trying to “help him” not be so down about his truck. Thanks for understanding this =)

ADD: I’m sorry… I forgot to add that he’s already checked all the hoses. He thinks it’s odd that the only place it “leaks” is somewhere between the starter and the transmission.
PS: How many seals are there where the face of the engine connects to the transmission?

First place to look is at the hoses. Radiator and heater hoses age and crack. When they crack, sometimes they won’t leak until the coolant heats-up and expands, pressurizing the system. So, if he can’t find any leaks with a cold engine, tell him to fill the radiator with water and fire the truck up, and see if it leaks when it’s warm. If he does find a bad hose, probably best to replace all of them, radiator AND heater.

Question by 2TUF4U: CALLING ALL MECHANICS OR SO CALLED WANNA BE mechanics!!! WHAT IS THE HEART OF AN ENGINE???
Hi there. theres a saying that “the HEART of the car is the engine” true that is. So WHAT is “the HEART of an engine”. I’ve been in the mechanics industry for 20years and figured it out 10 years ago. and I’ve never meet anybody to this day that cannot answer that question correctly. SO I’m calling out to test the minds of you mechanics out there to see if there’s anybody in the world that can answer it correctly. Remember to think about this before you answer it! Ask all your family and friends what they think to see if they might agree with you or what they might think. I will reveal my answer with your answers at the close of 8days from now. you can also submit more answers than one, Good luck for the 10 points.LOL… Regards, 2Tuf4U.

I’d have to go with the oil pump…
I’m a mechanic by trade, but not currently doing my specified job… sigh. Oh well…
Although, in a jet engine the heart of it all may be the Oil Pump as well… but the brain would be the fuel control seeing that it regulates so many different aspects of how the engine works…
