Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Check for leaks in the Engine Oil Cooler
A. Refer to the Testing and Adjusting manual for additional information.
Oil Cooler
Result: A leak was not found in the engine oil cooler.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
Result: A leak is found in the engine oil cooler.
Repair: Perform the following:
1. Install a new oil cooler core. Refer to the Disassembly and Assembly manual for additional information.
2. Flush the cooling system. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for additional information.
3. Refill the cooling system with the proper coolant. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the correct coolant and capacities.
4. Check the oil for coolant. If coolant is found in the oil, drain the crankcase.
5. Refill the crankcase with the proper oil after the leak has been repaired. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the correct oil capacities and viscosity.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 2.
