Coolant on belt

cjdzombie · 12-28-2017, 08:24 PM

I am in the process of changing my oil filter housing gaskets. In the process of pulling the coolant line I got some coolant on my belt. I wiped up what I could reach. Is this a big issue? What steps should I take to correct any problems?

Nope. Just wipe it away. Maybe spray some water and wipe it again, but it's harmless. Oil on your belt is a bigger problem that should be corrected by cleaning with a degreaser.

I don't think it's a big deal....maybe rinse with soap/water if you're fretting over it.

im doing my OFHG right now too. the belt takes 2 mins to take off with a T60 and a breaker bar.

I just gave it a good rinse with a watering can. Winter here in Ohio so the hose is out of commission. Letting things dry over night. Hope that solves any possible issues.

After starting the car there was no issue. Thanks for the help!
