When the water pump lets go on the 2.7 it leaks from the front of the engine.
Is there oil in the coolant??

Hi 001 thanks for your advice doesn’t have any water in oil or coolant but coolant only takes a few minutes to pass out of exhaust pipe cheers 👍

Sure there is a coolant feed to the turbo so might be a problem in that area.
Is it smoking or running rough??

Hi 001 it’s a bit sluggish to start but when running has plenty of power job to know about smoking as it’s steamy stuff out exhaust con only run it for a few minuets as it starts getting hot engine sounds good runs smooth. Thanks for reply 👍
