What is this valve? should it be plugged up as its leaking water

[jimmmyange]

Just a couple pic from my 99" HZJ105 100 Series. I don't know what this part is and it seems to be leaking water slowly? Should it be plugged up?, help people? ID here would be good.

Also my timing belt hasn't been changed since 150,000 i am at 260,000 do i risk a catastrophe coming up really soon. I just don't have the cash to do it now.

Yo James,

from the 2nd pic it appears to the AC condensation outlet - have you been driving with the AC on prior to noticing the drip? Is the fluid clear as it looks in the pic?

somebody else might confirm that?

Timing belt - yep definitely something you want to be sure of - if you have any question then its worth changing at next service. much worse if they fail out on the track...

I also see ryco fuel filter - not a real fan of Ryco - again next time its changed you want to go for a decent quality filter. The big thing with diesels is CLEAN! fuel clean air.

You can get them pretty well anywhere but if you are lost then try Sydney Filters - they are good = Sydneyfilters.com.au

also FYI - penriteoil.com.au - check out the product selector for your vehicle.

Of course you don't have to use Penrite but it will give you a good starting point to know what should go in the vehicle.
