Coolant leak!!!! help!!
 
hey guys need some help.... have a coolant leak on the top of my lower intake manifold near where the primary's are. Not bad by any means but it is their.

not sure what you want us to do........ could it be one of the bastard bendy hoses leaking down?

re-rx7 10-13-07 03:41 AM

hahaha jus lookin for the cause it is not a hose iam thinkin maybe the o rings that are in the lim

There is a 90 degree coolant hose under the upper intake. Could be leaking.

Try getting a bright light under there and squeeze hard on the upper hose. You may be able to force some coolant out of the leak an see where it's coming from.

oh by the way aaron it is pooling up in the receess of where the manifold and block meet. I have rerouted all the hoses so i know that is not the cause...

The pull the lower intake manifold and replace the o-rings. :)

I think I have the same problem right now. I have replaced all hoses and still have slow leak. It doesn't leak on the ground so I'm thinking it's the o-rings. Could the coolant leak then burn off before it hits the ground? I notied a small puddle of coolant above the LIM right at the gasket-- are you having the same problem?

yup at the rear rotor housing....i was like WTF????New rings ftw!!!
