Ford 1710 leaking coolant

yep it is verified. it ain't coolant. It should not be difficult to repair. try to source parts from NH dealer before you completely disassemble. I have bought a set of metric o-ring from HF and they come handy and you can find something matching the oem o-ring. be careful not to mess up the o-rings as you'll have something to compare with.

I ended up driving it to the hydraulic shop up the road from my house and they replaced (5) O-rings and now its good to go. Cost me $120. Thanks everyone.

That's a fair price. Probably you could have done just the same buying the o-ring and attempting the repair.

Well guys the leak returned a few weeks ago. Should I even bother replacing the o-rings again or do I need a whole new priority flow valve unit?

4 of the frame bolts that go into the engine were loose. After tightening them down the leak slowed way down. It still leaks but very very little, a drop every few minutes. I think if I replace the o-rings again and with the bolts tight I should be ok? Thoughts?

I concur. I perhaps put a bit (very little) of RTV blue in the mating faces , let it skin for a few minutes and put them on. I tighten it uniformly but would nut over tighten.
