LArge Coolant leaK!!! I have a question.
Hey guys I've had a coolant leak for about a week now and it's been progressively getting worse. The other day I was trying to figure out where it was coming from and i heard gurgling and I saw mist spraying coming from about the top of the engine or inbetween the engine and intake manifold.
My question is... Do you think this is a coolant leak of the engine block or could this be coming from the intake manifold? Is there coolant lines that run through the manifold?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

There's a coolant line that runs from the top of the engine block to the throttle body, one that loops across the throttle body, and one that runs from the throttle body to the back of the water pump. The one going from the engine block to the throttle body is the one that usually goes - pull the intake manifold off and replace the line.

oh THAT coolant line. aw damnit, i had to fix that on my last fc. i got lucky, i only had to cut and refit near the top. are there any coolant lines to the lower left side, kinda right above the exhaust manifold?

On my S4 NA, there's no way to get the hose without taking the intake manifold off.
Perks of emissions removal: I can pull the UIM off in 10 minutes while holding a conversation with someone.
