Coolant Leaking on Exhaust Stack Cover??
#14

Update:

I’ve ordered constant pressure clamps but in the meantime I’ve placed two hose clamps on the leaking side of the pipe. 

Richard suggested I remove the coolant overflow tank and access the area over the hydraulic fan motor. 

Had to work with one arm. 
Dropped everything at least once. 
Opened up clamp and slipped it over the pipe. 
Wedged a block of wood between new clamp and upper pipe to keep it in place while I threaded the band into the worm gear and tightened it up. 

I felt more clamps to the left of the original clamps in the picture. The blue sleeve apperently is longer than required. I’m confident this is the source of the smoke. Once I get ready for a test drive I’ll post my findings.

If anyone can tell me why pictures mysteriously rotate 90* please let me know...
