Well, I thought I had dodged all bullets with problems on my Canyon, since I had none of the previously mentioned stuff that had been plaguing new owners. Then I started noticing some pink fluid on my garage floor about a week after taking delivery.
I took the truck back to the dealer and they checked it out, and could not find any sign of a coolant leak. The theory was that there could have been some overfill that had dripped out. However, over the next couple of weeks I noted a continued leak of a few drops of coolant each day. The weird thing was the the coolant was leaking back about 3.5- 4 feet back from the front of the truck and not under the radiator or coolant tank.
Back to the dealer last Friday it went, and this time they pressurized the system and managed to track down the leak to a coolant pipe assembly that entered the rear of the engine block. Needless to say this was not an easy location to get to to make the repair. Since it was the weekend it took 2 days to get a replacement part, then they kept it for an additional day to make sure they had it fixed.
All seems good now. I was very pleased with the dealers response and service. They offered me a loaner, but I didn't need it.
I think this was a pretty rare problem, but thought I'd throw it out there just in case anyone else has a hard to locate coolant leak.
