    Anybody have any experience dealing with a leaking coolant tube on a 250 cummins FWAC CPL953?

    The small weep is at the connection to the head in what appears to be a freeze plug. I am going to call today for availability of the replacement part. Item 22 in the attached diagram.

    Drain your coolant down about 3 gallons.. Remove the hose and then the tube pressed into the head.. You may or may not get is out without destroying it.. Clean out the hole in the head– Get a new tube and press it into the head using Rectorseal Blue and a right tool to do it right ( maybe a upside-down socket and extension?) ..

    Not simple but not crazy hard to do..
