2615 coolant leak

rterry · Jan 14, 2016

The coolant drain tube that runs along the bottom of the frame from the radiator to the block that has the drain cock inline pulled loose from where it connects to the engine. And now I can't find where it connects back. Somewhere on the back of the block and not much room to work. Any suggestions?
Mahindra 2615 4x4 that is 7 or 8 years old.

Do you see a small bowl with a drain on the bottom of it? theres one line that goes to it and sits on the side of the block if im thinking right

then the top one goes to the reservoir then the big one goes to the water pump..

The line comes from the bottom right side of the radiator. I did not see a bowl with a drain. When I add water it runs out somewhere behind the engine and the line is long enough and originally went in that direction. I just see no way to get in there.
thanks

I went out and looked at my 2615 to see if I could tell where the hose is connected. Yikes! It looks like there is no access to the back of the engine without pulling it out of the chassis.

Hey I appreciate you going out and taking a look. I was afraid of that. I guess that explains when I called the dealer he just said "umm it may be a little hard for you to get to. Why don't you just bring it in."
You may want to attach yours really good to the frame to avoid the same problem.

I will double check to make sure it's secure. Please let me know the outcome on this. It may help several other owners in the future.
