  1. Update, Well I was a little too quick to say it was fixed. Dealer told me it would be ready in morning. Apparently wasnt so easy. . They tried 4 times to install a new plug each time it leaked. On the last go they packed it with hightech sealant. tried to pressure test it and the heater hoses were leaking and the Y connector was also cracked. These are notorious issues on this engine. 2 weeks to get heater hoses and parts. Such high demand that they cant keep up with need for them. Even after they replace hoses they aren't sure if they fixed the frost plug issue. The frost plug had a great deal of corrosion which makes me wonder where else it is badly corroded. If leak not stopped next step is a new cylinder head. So made only decision I could, got rid of car while it was running. SO anyone with a 2010 or earlier V6 I feel sorry for you, get rid of it while its running....
  2. Yes it is water. I had just flushed the system and was rinsing with water. That and as everything was being pumped out aI replaced with more water. Wasn't going to throw Coolant down the drain for a number of reasons Well apparently my epiphany was correct. It was a frost plug located just behind the EGR. Hole was such that it sprayed directly into the EGR giving the appearance it was the EGR. There ya have it . Bunch of money later and its fixed..
  3. Yup it aint pretty. But coolant temperature of engine is good never gets above "normal" A ding went off in my head, perhaps frost plug. Gotta squeeze in behind and take a look. What is weird is I had it "fixed" before as mentioned above. This time I had flushed the cooling system and perhaps the frost plug had enough stuff on it to plug the leak when flushed it cleaned it off. I'll let you all know

  5. I'll see if I can put it somewhere and put a link to it.
  6. Hi guys, Yeah there is no logical reason that's why I was hoping maybe someone has seen this before. This is actually the second time it has happened to me. The first time I took it to the shop and they replaced the coolant temp sender. At the time I thought "gee that's a funny looking temperature sender". But it wasn't leaking anymore so I just went "OK, what do I know" That was about two years ago. I now know that even though the temp sensor is in the vicinity of the EGR they aren't connected so I'm left scratching my head. Oh well, back to the dealer in the morning. I'd post a video but its too big
  7. I have video but too big to post
  8. Hi al, I have a 2010 Journey R/T and it has sprung a leak. I have taken it to two shops and no one can figure it out. I have attached a photo but the fluid is leaking through the rectangular slots at the bottom of the piece shown by red arrow. I just got a call back from my Dodge parts guy and after 2 hours of searching (I showed him the piece and left him a photo) they determined it was the EGR valve. Is it the EGR valve and why would coolant be leaking from it? Is there something else close that could leak and it is just running through the EGR valve? The shop at my dealer is cloased today only parts open.. Cheers
