Thumbs down Son of a BITCH!

So I park my car at work today and walk around it. I notice a rather large puddle of coolent in my passenger side tailpipe and another one in my driverside.

Just when I thought I was done with repeairs.

Yo,


Wait, /inside/ your tailpipe?

Hmm, I have no idea.

Stiff upper lip and all that rot!

How could a coolent hose depost coolent into my exhaust? I'm confused.

It couldn't so open up your engine. Sorry guy, you will need to check the housings. Coolant is getting inside the chambers and getting blown out the exhaust. Might only be a rubber seal but it might be another victim of HOUSING CORROSION!!!!!!

I can't open the engine up at my apartment unfortunately. And I'm not going to spend the money to get Mazda to do it(Read: Don't have it). So for now it sits and I have to decide what to do.

Yo,

'Goat, I'd post the following thread:

Coolant in Exhaust tips, What gives?

Or something. This current thread might not get the tech guys looking at it.

Was the car running good? Bad?

You may be able to fix it temporarily, read this thread closly. You will still need a rebuild to really fix the problem, but this fix may give you another year or more.
