Quick Question
I have an 88 tII, and there seems to be a BAD coolant under the intake manifold, it builds up a little pool in the pit under the fuel rail , and it runs out down the back of the motor, running down the transmission. Any quick ideas where it is? Ive pulled off the intake and cant find/have no idea where its coming from.

the heater core hoses are fine, the leak starts up torwards the front of the engine and rolls back to the tranny. RotaryWeaponSeven, the emissions and everything have been removed, all im seeing is fuel lines going to the fuel rail, and omp lines. The only placed i can see where there is anything to do with the coolant system is on the back right below the water neck, there is a nipple coming off it thats capped off. There is also a nipple right next to where the egr valve was thats capped off so im guessing it was to the egr. I have no clue where its coming from at this point.

There is a hose that usually lets go,and that one is a Throttle body Hose located at the Back of the engine,and very hard to get to I hear..Question,why are you Saying "screw it" and going to Reseal the waterpump housing,when that is located in the Front of the Engine?..The engine Relies on Coolant..Without a Properly Operating Cooling system,and An Owner who is Willing to Fix it,the car is Just another RX7 Destined for a Rebuild..The hose may run you Five bucks.See if you get can your hands on a Cooling system Pressure tester..that will allow you to find the Leak..Good luck.

Didnt mean it like your taking it, i meant id try to reseal it bc there is a lip up there it could be coming out of. I said the leak starts at torwards the front and rolls back. That hose seemed to be fine, if its the one im thinking of. It comes off the back of the throttle body, and goes on to a metal hose and into the brake booster, so i figured it'd be for my power brakes. Ill replace it for ***** and giggles tho, cross your fingers lol. Thanks
