I had that same problem, coolant spewing out the back of the engine some where. There is one VERY small hose behind the intercooler, lower down, right behind what I would call the Top Intake Manifold Cover on the passanger side. It is a hose that you cannot even get to without taking that whole top intake manifold cover thingy off (have to remove intercooler too...yarg).
Easy to fix, but you need the right hose etc. etc.
Hope that sort of helps.

I am going to look into that next weekend. Would it be easier to find the leak with the tranny off? I have to replace the T/O bearing anyway, so I might as well check for it then.

Ha...yeah, that works. Get this, I drove the car to work today (too hot to ride my bike) and didn't have any proble with the T/O bearing. If I didn't already have my plane ticket to NY, I'd be driving it to the BBQ this weekend.

You guys that said it was the hose coming from the rear rotor were right. I tore the car apart on Saturday (with help from Rotarydragon from the no pistons board) and found the leak...now I am just waiting on the intake gasket and such. The tranny should be going back in tonight unless we find a problem other than the T/O bearing, which I will be picking up today. We also noticed that one of the vacuum nipples on the thermal wax pellet thingy was broken off, so I am going to order that as well. Hopefully my car will thank me and not break any time soon.

oh come on, it can't be that hard to fix.. put it this way.. in my FB race car, I had all the following occur:
1) Heater core line popped off the engine side - Fixed, back on track 15 minutes (let it cool)
2) Gasoline return line cap broke and spewed gas all over the hot engine. Fixed 10 minutes, back on track.
3) Out of balance wheels on front and rear - Fixed, swapped wheels front to back, not as bad anymore.
4) Bent threaded rod between inner and outer tie rod - Fixed after weekend.
5) Loose wheel bearing - Fixed, back on track 15 minutes.
6) Misaligned Toe - Fixed, back on track 15 minutes.
See, you should own an FB with a TurboII motor

I am sorry to hear about your TII. Personally I think all modded wrx's should be taken off the road lol. I was just in an accident this friday in my best friend's modded wrx. He lost control at well over 80mph. Needless to say we flipped MANY MANY times. Those cars are the devil! lol.
Just writing that cuz its weird to see that a wrx was involved after my accident. Good luck with the car though!

iluvrx7z, if you want to talk to someone about WRXes, talk to Mykl on this forum...he rolled his a few times. On second thought, he's probably pretty sick of talking about it.

He did??? I didn't even know that! As you can tell I have been away from the forum for a while. Wow well hopefully he is ok, honestly, from the severity of my accident I am just happy to be alive. I really do wish you the best of luck with your TII though. Its definitely one of my favorites!!

He is fine...and his insurance covered the car.
I got my transmission back in last night with minimal difficulty and I changed my plugs. Tonight I am going over there to put the driveshaft and exhaust back on, fill the tranny with synthetic fluid, and do an oil change. I am still waiting on some parts from Mazda, but I should have the car going again by the weekend.
Oh, I have to do some body work too...my rusty fender decided to let go a little bit. Now I am thinking of repainting the whole car...same color of course.
