I started stripping the car and preparing it for paint tonight, when i took off the UIM and disconnect the hose from the BAC there are coolants dripping from the BAC.


Is this how it suppose to be since i saw the other end of the hose came from somewhere at the back of the waterpump housing, or should i start to worry for a rebuild?

 

Coolant is sent through the BAC through that hose. You're fine.

 

there is a coolant line that passes by the BAC, it bolts too the BAC but i assure you that the coolant does not directly contact the BAC.

the coolant comes from the water pump via rubber hose, clamps to the pipe near the BAC, then goes to the throttle body via another rubber hose, this coolant is for your thermal wax aka your accelerated warming.
