i was driving my car and i was boosting then all of a sudden my low coolant light comes on and i pulled over immeditatly and shut the car down....i looked inside and noticed coolant all over the left side of the engine...i saw the leak dripping from the TCA but i know its not coming from anything around that...i believe it might be up further...what are the coolant lines that are around that area...i know there are some by the UIM are there any other ones...maybe by the turbos? its about 400am and i just got home from the ******* tow truck driving scraping my front end and crackin it...guess everyone who didnt like my front end...looks like i can get the 99 spec now haha...but if ne one could shed some insight into this for me i would appreciate it!


could it possibly be these hoses? this is from dave on a prior post

Sounds like you have a leak at one of the 2 turbo hoses. There is a supply line right behind the y-pipe which is typically the one to go, the return is a few inches beneath it.

 

Thanks for saving me the trouble of finding that

Those are the hoses I'd start with. If the coolant hoses are all original, those two like to fail first - time to change them all.

Did your car overheat any? How many miles on the engine?

 

if the above does not help, this will

thanks guys no it didnt overheat i found the problem it was the primary turbo coolant line that just blew up lol...so im out to the store to go grab a new one...i just wanna get it running so i can take it to the tow truck company since they cracked my fing front bumper!!!! AND SCRAPPED THE **** OUTTA IT!!! sorry for the caps but its frustrating...thanks guys only took 5 minutes to get to it so it was pretty easy...alright thanks again everyone too bad u dont live near me beers for everyone


edit: no the car didnt over heat one bit thank god the car had 76000 miles on with about 1500-2000 on the new engine sooo yeah i was just happy i didnt blow the turbos im hoping i didnt...we will see

 

That turbo coolant hose blows catastrophically and opening the hood launches a mushroom cloud of steam off the hot turbos. Replacement should be part of the reliability mod checklist, especially if the hose is soft when you squeeze it.

 

ya i saw the huge cloud for about 10 minutes and then it stopped then when everything was fixed i saw it again lol...just excess burning off...i plan on doing all the relibility mods for my winter project soo everything will be screamin in the summer time oh and maybe some good came outta this i might be getting the JDM A spec wbk for it to replace the old on
