Have a look under the oil filter see what the hose is like down there or one of the heater hoses in that area, could be from the EGR cooler on other side..... mind 2013 was a time of change under the bonnet of the Grand so some seem to be a bit of a Hybrid with old model and new model as gear box, turbo and a few other changes were made.....

With a high intensity small led torch the best way is to just do contortions and try to look everywhere and follow the snail trails before doing any pull downs on a guess...

Is it leaving a pool on the floor or just a drop ???

Someone on here thats had the oil cooler hose leak shoould chime in and be able to advise on the coolant trail left by it........ the hose can be sourced from Supercheap using a Commodore hose cut down, $30 ? you will have to find the thread its on as I'm on the road and forgot by Jeep Folder....

This thread page list the Holden hose part and details http://www.ausjeepoffroad.com/forum/...=159876&page=2 and this thread http://www.ausjeepoffroad.com/forum/...nt+Leak&page=6

A. UV torch light used at night will pick up some coolant leaks depending on brand.If not add a flouroscene dye to the coolant.

Found the z hose on oil cooler abit suss so fixed it the car is now holding coolant thanks everyone who commented word of warning don’t stress if leaking above transmission it could be just the condensation over flow which drops onto the transmission on passenger side

Default Tool for the torx bolts holding the fuel rails

I found a way to crack those bolts without any damage. Cut a T40 torx bit in half and wrap it with thread seal tape. Use a 1/4 spanner and some extension to make it longer. And voilà.

Greta pics, well done ........... I have a set of long shaft torx drives, some have been cut and given a touch of MiG to various bits to expand their versatility..

Hi all, I am doing an overhaul/intake clean on my wk2 and while I am there I will be replacing an oring on the EGR Coolant feed tube which is showing seepage so I am going to replace while intake is off.
Picture is attached and part number of tube is 68211204AB, but of course no reference to the oring separately!
Is there any chance anyone has changed this oring and possibly taken exact measurements? Impossible to source from Jeep separately of course but I will pick up from a local oring manufacturer here in Brisbane but keen to pick up before I have it all apart! thanks in advance. (The pic is from previous work!)
