Hey, everyone, got a ? for ya. I got a coolant leak back in the passenger side back corner of my engine, however, I'm not sure what all is back there that I need to look for, seeing as I haven't been able to actually spot the leak. I know it's there though, and I know the general area of the leak, as it decided to be a pain in the *** last night, and finally bust to the point of causing a large amount of steam. I just really need to know what to look for back on that side of the motor, and anything besides just hoses that might need replaced. Thx.

i'm pretty sure the only lines back there are the heater core and the intake manifold... it should be only hoses that are the problem.

There is a 3/8" coolant line that runs from the rear housing, under the intake, up the back of the TB to the AWS thermo-wax, and goes on the the BAC, to the water pump housing (under the alternator).
You guessed it - it's a PITA.

Fix it quick before it pops & leaves you stranded.

I removed the whole circuit & capped the nipples.
(the best part of the TB mod)

I cut this from the FSM.

thx for the info guys, sureshot, I'm gonna go see if I can find that hose that you're talking about, the car's at my work (broke on me in the middle of coming back from a delivery), so I'm gonna haul my *** over there in my Probe (damn Ford ) and check it out...I'll get back to ya.

well, between me looking at it and talking to Jrat, we've determined that hose is the culprit. I'm going to work on replacing it early tomorrow (my version of early, somewhere before 5 ) so anyway
