I wa striping the car down getting it ready to pait.When i took the hood off i notice coolant on the top left side of the engine under the carb.Im new to rotors ive looked but have no idea where its coming from .Has any of you had this happend to them.

 

You're also new to forums and the search button, right?

the o-rings in your intake manifold need replacing.

 

Thanks for the help.I did search and found nothing i might be using the wrong key words but thats cool,back to wet sanding.

 

Yeah, there are 2 coolent ports between the intake ports that run into the manifold. The have o-rings around them. Cheap and easy to replace. But also pick up and intake manifold gasket while your at it, you can't reuse the old one.

 

Sweet i just found this on my rex this past weekend. Ther was a puddle of collant on top of my engine. I was like WTF?!?! Time to order new o-rings. SEARCHING BEFORE ASKING FTW!!!

 

Wow this is becoming alot more common. I just blew my O-rings 2 days ago. Also posted a thread that same day, just to make sure it couldn't be anything else. You may want to consider replacing them with 20mm freeze plugs, as that will allow you to pull the mani off without ever spilling coolant, and you'll never have to worry about more O-rings letting go on you.

 

so i have not done this job just yet but it sounds like its not very hard to do. Is that right? so take off the intake manifold and the O RIngs are right there????
