coolant leak, cannot find, need help

i posted this on the other forum but i need as much imput as i can get so here it goes.

ok well the coolant leak continues, behind the motor, between the downpipe and transmission.


earlier people said i should try to replace the hose between the TB and the top of the motor, i did, actually i did the TB mod and ende dup hooking that damn hose to the BAC.

anyways, i'm still dripping coolant, when i took that off there was a pool of coolant where the LIM meets the motor.


i'm completely baffled i need someone to help me out tell me what other hose or component could be leaking.

thanks in advance, you guys are life savers.

I think that's a connection going into the firewall, right?

The hose supplying to heater core. Check that and see.

The only other thing I can think of besides the firewall connections and the hose going to the rear end plate on the engine is the outer water seal. You'll have to get in there and trace back to where the leak is coming from.

when i look back there it looks like is dripping out down back towards the back of the car, looks like its comming from the UIM. so i doubt its from the block


lookat at the heater core hose, i don't think thats it, its clearly comming from the engine area not the firewall area.

Coolant feedline, under the Oil Filter going through the Firewall, are prone to leaks and are around the Tranny. If you haven't replaced It yet, I'd suspect this to be leaking. How hasn't replaced It? My next guess would be to follow the water line that goes through the BAC Valve and ending at the Rear Iron.

the drip is on the driver side, so i think the oil filter thingie is out of question, i will still look at it.

the line from the BAC to the rear iron has been replaced already, thought this was the leak but wasn't.

thanks tho

anymore ideas?
