Sure wish I could get notifications again someday :(

Any way, Started up the old girl after sitting for 6 months to get the fluids moving. Moved her around some and noticed a drip and sure enough, leak near the bottom of the cooler. Removed sides and front grill to get a better look.

Can the cooler be removed without removing Rad?
Probably have to remove the nose cover

I'll post some pics a bit later,

radiator can be removed straight upward, the fan shroud, rad mounts hoses,if you lift the bucket to top position and lock with chains or brace it,sling across lift frame with chain, then all that's needed is a chain hoist, or take a truck tire place in front and loosen 9 bolts holding rad and rad mount ,let fall forward then hoist back to frame when done, done a few times on a 955 about a 2 hour job

Thanks, that's what I was thinking
I'll remove the shroud and then get at the hoses
