How to correctly identify a coolant leak on the back of the engine for a 2012 Dodge Durango with a 3.6 V6
Thank you so much for this video! Your detailed video was exactly what mine was doing at 192k miles. So I’m not too bummed out that mine failed.
Thanks. I just discovered a leak 2014 ram. 3.6. Your video helped me from doing a lot of trouble shooting.
Great video Ron. Very helpful. Thanks so much for posting!
This video helped resolved the leak I had on my 2012 Jeep Wrangler 3.6. I couldn’t find the leak until I took apart the entire intake. Thanks for the video!
how the engine holding up?
Did you get a check engine light?
You saved me a lot of diagnostic time. Thanks!
Excellent tutorial thank you so very much for thoroughly explaining in detail this job
Great video,great details,great mechanic.! Sir you were great on this video!!!
Wow! Excellent video. Very good diagnosis and documentation.
Thank you I've been about to lose the rest of my hair over this thing.
Thank you. This was really helpful!
Great video! I have a 2012 charger and have been searching out the leak on the bell housing but couldn't find it. I've gone through a couple bottles of tracer but can't see in there enough to find the leak however, my hand got dye on it right next to the hose. I bet that the oil cooler is the problem. I was worried it was a head gasket problem but it doesn't have the normal head gasket problems. I appreciate all the extra insights about the fuel line disconnect. I probably would break that off too. Thanks for going over this procedure, you are saving my butt.
Man i wish i lived close to your shop buddy, i wish all mechanics where as thorough and is accurate and as honest as you, also my father's name is ron. : )
Thank you! I have this 3.6 V6 in a 2013 Dodge Journey. In the journey the engine is transverse and not shoved under the windshield, so this process may be more simple.
Great video sir thank you
Nice beast the you have in the background I like the pallet tires
Symptoms of this somewhat common failure of the oil cooler include overheating, large coolant leak from behind the block that seems to go between the transmission and engine mating surfaces, and white smoke seeming to originate from underneath the intake manifold. Both instances ive replaced oil coolers on 3.6 pentastar, customer stated they were on highway/interstate passing another vehicle when the issue occurred.
Very informative thank u .....
I have a 2013 Jeep wrangler sport, 3.6, same coolant leak. In addition, I replaced the coolant return hose. It was a little punky. While I was there. Coolant overflow stays full now and heat works good too.
I found that the people who change oil, over-tighten the oil filter cover. The shop I use allows me to remove the filter cap on my own and I GENTLY put it back on. I haven't had a leak from the unit since 2013.
Thank you sir
I took my car in for an oil change and the dealership said I had a leak for my coolant and oil but there was nothing on the ground or that I could see on the engine. My car was close to overheating yesterday and I am out of coolant... I am thinking this is the culprit. Dealership wants to charge $2200 to fix but I have an extended warranty so will try to get it covered under that! This was so helpful and will help me when speaking to the dealership. Also am due for a tune-up too so that was a great tid-bit!
If have the SAME ISSUE!!! my thermostat failed and I believe it caused those rubber seal to fail beca i never had a leak before. Today i looked under the bell housing and have leak. I also noticed coolant puddling and smoking on top of the oil filter cooling assembly!!! This has to be it. Thank you soo much!
the good think for this job is, to have the right tool if not you going to do it in about 12 hours.thank you for the video Ron
Great video. Thank you for showing it. Guess I'm doing alright with 263,000 miles and just now having the same problem. I'll be tearing it down to confirm but, looking like a sure bet.
How much did it cost to repair. The shop I'm dealing with quoted me $1225?
Thanks
Thanks!! It is impossible to see on this Rubicon!
Hey Ron, Great video by the way, I have a 2012 dodge journey SXT and Im trying to get a handle on where the antifreeze keeps going and where its coming from. Im in Ozark Alabama and I was quoted 1200 to 1500 from a mechanic shop to fix it, he quotes me something like12 to 16 hours of labor. My question is, what book did you mentioned the pricing guide was from, and where can I find one of your videos with step by step instruction. If there is any.
Have same problem lots of coolant lost from back of engine , now my dodge durango is over heating already replaced thermostat so i think this is the problem what do yu recommend replacing the heads and oil housings unit?????
nice job, did it fix the leak?
How do you get to that 13mm bolt that holds the bracket on the left as you're looking at it / passenger side. Do you have to reach in blindly from the top or can you get to it from underneath?
@10:22, ‘My suspection is…’ hahahaha!
Ron, what was that part number for the fuel line that you replace ?
Thank you! My 2013 Durango had leaks around both front tires, when the engine tried to overheat I took off the plastic cover and I thought it was strange that all the steam was coming from there. Now I know. Please post the part numbers for the line and oil cooler.
Did uu ever fix the problem?
Exactly right mopar parts otherwise you will be doing it again excellent video
So you have to replace the the cooler or just the gaskets I see this was asked just below but I did not see an answer.
You are a god
Any thoughts on whether or not the 5.7 L Hemi has the same configuration on the 2019 Dodge Durango R/T. I have the same mysterious leak.
Hi there , can having low coolant cause misfire , i am talking coolant going into the spark plug , just the fact of having low coolant ? thanks
Hey Ron , What is the $ for hr. Nowadays?
You have part numbers to everything you used?
Ron my car leaking behind the engine overheats is the oil cooler the problem
Hello, I have the same problem, how much does the part cost or if you have the serial number, thank you
Never knew a engine "oil cooler" was a thing. Is that standard on most vehicles?
So we were trying to figure out where the leak was and I was right it was coming from the middle of that engine. But I think it was coming from the hose attached to that piece. Could it of been possible that white clamp that hold the hose in had been deteriorated and pressure was pushing the liquid through because it really was coming from that area and not around the side. Or could this have been tampered with some how “it is not” coming off the sides of the piece your replacing. Also could the leak have caused liquid to go everywhere to the point it’s caused electrical issues somehow for the battery to keep dying.2012 dodge grand caravan r/t…
That what's mine is doing,going to dealership today because other mechanic could not find where the coolant was gushing from even after taking manifold off,I have that 2012 dodge Durango 3.6v
Its a very common leak at cooler.
In late 2023 I had this done @ the dealership for my 15 Durango 3.6 for $770
Ron, was the oil cooler assembly the problem and where specifically was the leak. I had the same signs and symptoms on my engine - coolant pouring out the back of the engine. this video convinced me not to tear it down to the heads. I am not confident enough to do that. Now if it turns out after i put it all back together....well....it looks like i WILL be doing the tear down again.
Yes it was the leak. from plastic housing.
@@SandCarServices thank u for replying.
I'm having a problem with mi durango it keeps wasting antifreeze have to put some everyday but doesn't overheat or leaks changed the radiator but noticed that the fan wasn't turning full power can u please send me some opinios
I'm having this problem, coolant disappearing, no apparent leaks no puddles on the ground, however upon getting underneath its has coolant on tranny edges and bolts just like on this one so I suspect I have the same part failure!
Ron i have a coolant leak dont see any coolant on the ground i replaced thermostat i did my tune up my self durango sound magnificent .Also checked waterpump and hoses
I have a dodge durango 2017
If you don’t return RUclips callers well do you get on here and answer their questions? Cause I just have one small question and I will be right out of your hair. Is this breakdown for the 3.6 the same for the 5.7? Cause I noticed in a lot of Durango videos nobody works on a 5.7 everything is a 3.6. But if you can help me or someone else that knows about the 5.7 engine please help me answer this question.
My leaks water and I'm on a tight budget. Can I just replace the gasket or I need to change the whole oil adapter?
Gaskets yes. May not be problem
Gaskets are cheap. So are engines
Did this vehicle show any signs of running a little on the warmer side? Currently diagnosing this issue except I’m losing motor oil and my ‘12 Charger 3.6 gets up to 230° on the EVIC.
Only because it was low on coolant from the leak.
Ron Williams I replaced my thermostat last year with a mopar unit. I have no coolant leaks but my car runs hot
All the time or just at slow speed
Ron Williams it heats up in stop and go and on the freeway
6:59 insane that I search internet for hours to find name of that dirty piece to replace and and I stumble across this.. wow what's it called?
Need RT video.
You do any work in NY
Mine made it 165k but I had the associated headache when trying to locate the problem!
I have to exact same Snap On tool box.
Funny thing thats not my tool box! It's just my roller cart. My tool box is a maximizer by mac tools.
Do you have a part number for that gas line? Mine broke too.
did u ever find tht part number ??
Where did you buy the parts from?
DCH Chrysler jeep in Temecula ca.
how reliable would you say this motor is otherwise?
It’s actually a pretty solid port injected engine. A lot of people will smirk and called it a POS because it’s in a Dodge but I’ve got the same Durango and it’s been very reliable.
@@kickerbeat yea I agree I've had mine since 2017 and it's been fine
@@SiccSideKali4Nia209 same here I've got a 2012 with almost 115k and its still running strong. Hoping to get another 5 years out of it.
So it is normal for an oil filter adaptor to leak coolant? I have heard lots of people having oil leak issues with it. I am having a coolant leak in the "valley" where the oil filter adaptor is right now, no oil leak just water coolant. I have replaced the seals on it with new Mahlel seals on it and still water leaks in that area. Took it off and put it back on 4 times and it keeps leaking even more. I did a 108 in lb torque on it and still no dice, the book said 106 in lb I did 108 in lb just to make sure I did get it tighter. So I guess it is a $200 full oil adaptor replacement to get it fixed now? I have taken it off and did an inspection and saw no cracks or anything under the oil filter adaptor at all, just nothing, looks fine but leaks from below. I know it is not leaking from the sides because I saw it leaked into the valley without the plenum installed on it near bolts 3 and 4 on the oil adaptor.
Its leaking from the housing. Replace it with dealer parts. It can leak coolant or oil.
Mopar has an upgraded part that is $60 cheaper.
paul joe when u say mopar has an upgrade, is where can I purchase it from mopar? Is it like a website or the dealer TIA
@@alga9593 buy the one for '14 and up. Fits fine. Dave at motor city mechanic shows u how
paul joe yes but where exactly buy it from. Dealer? Amazon? Rock auto? Sorry if I sound clueless this my first car and I’m 19 years old just trying to get the right quality and avoid having to re do it.. thanks again
How much the spark plug replacement cost on this one
$5 @ rock auto for champion 9407 which is oem
I have a coolant leak it’s really bad it’s coming from the bottom by the engine but we can’t find where it’s coming from please help I have a 2009 Dodge Charger and it over heats if I drive longer then 15 minutes
That might be water pump. You have a 3.5 or 2.7
I see your near my area what’s the price to get this replaced I need one installed on my 11 Jeep Grand Cherokee same exact as the durango 3.6 pentistar
What were the part numbers on those parts?
They are not all the same. That's why I didn't give the part numbers.
I appreciate for you getting back to me. Thanks for having a good channel.
I have a 2013 Dodge Durango and can't locate the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor does anyone happen to know the location?
Brian Sobek go to motorcity mechanic site David has video
Back of oil cooler sensor is attached
how much does that job cost??
Mustaq Rahim free for me lol
Why Why. are car makers making cars more of a pain to work on?? Yes!
2012 DC r/t
Mine failed at 39k
hows the engine holdin up as of now?
Should have upgraded to new cooler by mopar. Cheaper too
Vid says coolant leak but he replaced oil filter housing ?
The gasket on the cooler is the reason it leaks
@@lizmontero536 so why the oil housing tho
Housing was cracked
@@SandCarServices ass thanks for explanation
If engine were designed by technicians. They would never change. My 2016 F150 would still have a gas guzzling 351 with a carburetor getting 8 mpg.
