leaking coolant from oil filter housing

[4g63eagle]

I am leaking coolant from my oil filter housing, My question is does anyone know what size line i can use to bypass it? If it turns out to be more then that like the housing is cracked, Is this a part that i can buy from a parts store?, or do i have to get it at my local U-pull it?

I just had this exact problem, if the coolant is just leaking out of the OFH and not mixing in the oil, take a look at the o-ring that seals the water pump and the water pipe, it will leak down right on the OFH and will look like the OFH is leaking.

I will have to check that out, because im not mixing fluids. Thanks
do they sell the o-ring at parts stores or dealerships only?

good thing your not mixing, i was going state the exact same thing the previous guy just posted,

if for some reason you have to take that OFH off, make sure you look up the specs for the torque amount to put it back on,

if you wrench that thing to tight back on there, you will crush the inner fins and start mixing your coolent and oil,

but look for the o-ring mentioned

good luck
