Archived Coolant Leak

[Caribou]

I have an 01 six speed truck. I see coolant coming out of a exhaust manifold bolt. Its the farthest back bottom bolt.

Do the threads of this bolt go into the water jacket?

Any suggestions on how to stop this leak and it is gushing out of there in a fast stream.

Thanks to anyone who can help me.

No, the bolt does not go into the water jacket. My guess is head gasket.

Ok I found out where the leak is now. Its a small freeze plug about 3/8 inch in diameter located adjacent to the bolt area I mentioned.

I had the truck towed to the dealer who will do the repair work, and they tell me it is warranty work. My warranty runs out on May 1, 06.



I bought this truck 5 months ago with 27k miles, and I thought it was going to be maintenance free for a while. But there has been a fuel leak, air leak coolant leak and new lift pump. Soon as I fix one thing another thing pops up.

This is my first Dodge and I hope things improve!
