GBW and Brad5541 here is another post on the coolant leak problem. See if you can search for this post also. It has more of my pictures. Let me know.
Thanks for this. I just ordered a new fan belt and tensioner today. I have everything disabled off the timing cover so tomorrow morning I will be pulling the front axle and oil pan. Another question after reading the service manual and it states I need alignment tool part jdg1660 for installing the timing gear cover? Is this needed?More thoughts, since you have the front axle out it would be a good time to replace the pivot support bearings and thrust washer. They are a nylatron type of material. A reinforced nylon 66, I think. And also maybe replace the fan belt and tensioner. I did.
Thanks I got everything apart today. I'm going to clean everything today and start putting it back together. I will look closely at the L shaped gasket area. Here's some picturesbrad5541, I don't remember needing a align tool but I will check. I did buy a puller I think for removing something. Let check on this and I will get back to you.
