Engine repair question about 2008 Town and Country 3.8L
Okay, I didn’t make it to the shop. My buddy decided to close for the holidays and “might” open back up next week. Still not blowing white smoke anymore, but I am seeing signs of a leak. Looking at the engine from the front, it looks like coolant is leaking on the right hand side of the engine below the coil pack. I’ve added a couple pics. These are both different angles of the same spot.
Also, not sure if this is related or a separate issue, while the van is running it looks like there is a small curl of smoke coming up from beneath the exhaust crossover on the right hand side, but toward the back. I’m not sure if it’s exhaust or something actually burning, cause it does not smell like antifreeze. But when I shined my light down there I did see some dead leaves, so maybe a dead leaf is sitting on the hot exhaust and is smoldering?
