Well on a 35 mile ride my project SRX decided to start leaking coolant somewhere from the right front of the sled. Im haveing a tuff time finding where the leak is coming from :o| What would be the best way to find the leak ?
Thanks Jeremy
 

You've got to be more specific on that location. Are you finding a drip on the floor near the front bellypan/treack area? It could be a leak in the heat exchanger where the rear bolt in the suspension bolts through and the steel plate sandwiches against the heat exchanger wearing it. I've had the anti-freeze run down the exchanger and drip down where the exchanger runs into the front belly pans. Just a thought w/o pics or a more specific area.
 
the best way to find your leak would be to start it as this will help build pressure and make it leak faster and do you diagnosing from there find where the drip is comming from and follow the coolant trail on the underside of the sled.
 
First leak i had came out of the weep hole in the water pump, if it is leaking there you need a new seal. Studded track? Stud could have pulled out and hit the exchanger.
