Injector seals, Piston liners with electrolysis pits (although Cat liners are very hard and tough) oil coolers, lord forbid cracked block / head. I pull the pan and pressure things up to get some idea of where it is coming from.

Add leaking liner seals and pitted pre-com chambers to the list.
Old Magnet you are a 100% right, Just giving the short version. ----What side of the liner is the water leak coming from --- piston side or packing side. Is the water getting to the pan from an oil galley? Or, down the push tubes? At any rate a lot more work to do.
Regards, Krunch
I would put money on a holed liner in one of these machines.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
