would it leak only when the turbos are hot? or when it starts leaking... its leaking!

thats a question really.. not a !

because I see coolant gushing out sometimes, and sometimes i dont.......

 

Get that fixed!! Another rx7 going out, car-b-que style would not be good.

 

yes get it fixed. if the hose has deteriorated enough to have a leak, it is just waiting to burst. apparently coolant is flamable and a number of 7s have been taken down with engine fires because the coolant leaks onto the exhaust

 

It's usually starting to leak during the "heat-soak" state...

 

Yeah, a coolant leak is a coolant leak - doesn't matter on temperature. Might leak a bit worse as it warms and the hose swells.

Regardless, fix it NOW - coolant leaks are a VERY bad thing.

Coolant leak means maybe a burst hose at any time. Find it, fix it.

 

it might only leak when hot or cold, but it doesnt matter you need to fix it either way

 

man... removing the stock airbox is such a pain.. well putting it back on really...

and the airpump argh!!!! i called local stealership today to have them order the two turbo coolant hoses... picking them up tomorrow! thanks!

 

I have an issue sorta like that -- noticed it the day I testdrove the car. After a lengthy drive the overflow tank will leak a small amount (less than an fl oz.) of coolant. The coolant levels never change noticably but it seems to happen here and there -- only seen it 6-7 times (one of which was due to overfilling by the dealer)

What's with the pic in your signature? You into watercooling your comp I take it?

I had a problem with mine where it would steam after i shut off the car. It wasn't that the car was overheating or anything but the thing would never steam while i was driving it. I found that one of the metal coolant pipes on the turbos had a small crack that expanded once heat soak set in. I could tell that's what it was when i pulled it apart because of that tell tale white crusty residue that the coolant left. There was a little pile of it that was sitting on the turbo manifold. Sure glad i found that because I was scared it was the coolant seals. this could be what's happening.......just a thought.
