Leaking prestone??

[nbsledder]

Got my sled back from the dealer a couple of weeks ago as there was some warranty work done on it,the driveshaft and brake rotor etc...the usual SW stuff......Anyway i noticed that there is some prestone dripping out of the front part of the tunnel ,it never did before the work was done, just wondering what i should be looking for

There's a small hose in the tunnel that joins the front heat exchanger to the rear exchanger. The hose clamps holding it on sometimes needs a little tightening.
I don't know how to upload threads to posts but check out Rockerdans "build thread " he explains it there.

Ok,thanks! I'm guessing i'll have to drop the skid to get at it?

No need to drop the skid. The clamps are accessed from the top of the tunnel. You'll have to slide over or remove the gas tank to access the clamps. Take care when tightening them DO NOT!!! strip the clamps usually they just need a little snugging up.
The 18's and newer have a heat tape over the hose... that might require removing the tank completely plus the header heat shield.

There was hoses clamps that run to the turbo & near #3 spark plug cap that where dripping on mine . While you are there snug up all the intake clamps , turbo outlet forward.
I would dilute your antifreeze so it reads -35 to-40 F with distilled water while u are at it . For improved cooling , Factory antifreeze is plus -50 F ,
