there is a large coolant leak in my car, is there any common areas on second gens where leaks like this happen? i really don't want to have to bring it to the shop again and pay another 200$ to have it fixed

 

My coolant leak was coming from the cold start mechanism. I just simply removed it and problem solved

 

In your car? could be coming from your heater core, or the metal hoses that connect to the engine bay. My rubber hose was not fully connected to the metal hose and i had a small leak in my car. New hose and tighter fit stopped the leak. -Gabe

 

oh, thats easy! right where HAYES ROTARY put the water seals in. i guess don forgot that YOUR NOT SUSPOSED TO JB WELD A PITTED ROTOR HOUSING!! i guess he must've forgot...wait a minuite...

 

I found my leak in my LIM coolant o-rings.

 

water pumps are pretty common to leak through the seep holes when they get more than 150K on them

 

i have 120,000 miles on my car, and this leak comes and goes, its really odd, but i dunno, all those places that you guys mention, where are they, physically in the engine...so i can check and see if thats where its coming from

 

Heater hose under the oil filter pedestal.
The small coolant line from the top of the rear housing up to the TB.
Erosion - right through the back wall of the water pump housing.
Hair line crack in the plastic thermostat neck.
Hair line crack in the plastic upper radiator tank.
Radiator tank-to-core seal.

Yes, I have had them all.
Why do I still like this car??
