    DD 15 has a block right there where 3 coolant lines go to various places. Mine leaked pretty good. It was the fittings.

    Don't know lay out of paccar motor.

    OR

    It's the EGR cooler.

    DD15 that have DPF have def coolant lines that act as a heater for the DEF. Mine leaked at some point.

    Looked like it was leaking bacon to me.

    Did you replace the cap or are you assuming it is fine?

    Sorry to hear that. I hope everything works out ok, and they do not bend you too bad.
