*HELP* Coolant Keeps Leaking In between LIM and Dynamic Chamber

Ok, notice in the pic the green coolant. It keeps comming back, and when the engine is on, its all over the damn place it doesnt want to go away, there is a little passageway in the LIM that I am assuming is where the coolant is comming from, the gasket that was near there was all wet and soggy..should it have been a metal gasket in the first place??

WTF?

Anyone?

I would guess that the o-ring between the LIM and block has failed or the coolant line going from under the throttle body/UIM to the keg is leaking. Either way seeing a visible coolant leak is better than losing it internally.

Looks more like it's the nipple on the rear housing that goes to the TB.

Its not the nipple, the o-rings are toast, and yes, I am very happy to see that my bottle is going down because of a leak then my car deciding to eat the coolant. First thing I did when I saw the bottle was lower then normal was sniff the exhaust at idle. HEHE...PARANOYA??

Well I ordered 3 of the new o-rings for the 7, 1 extra just in case I break one or loose it or something...****, this is a full time job maintaining the Rotary beast.
