Cetchup

I have recently had a brand new mazda reman put in along with a brand new set of oem turbos. I am getting a lot of coolant leaking out by the front driver side (maybe 1 foot from the driver side wheel) It seems to be dripping off the chasis...I don't really know the anatomy of everything on the car, so are there any hoses are anything in that area that may be causing a leak? I have a Fluidyne radiator also... Thanks guys.

Yea, there is a coolant hose attached to the top back side of the throttle body. There is also a very small one that goes from the bottom of the throttle body right under the throttle places and makes a 90 toward the passanger side then connectes to a hard line....its only about 3-4" long so its easy to miss. You pretty much have to take the elbow off to see it. There is also a coolant line going right into the block down close to the spark plugs but towads teh firewall a few inches

Then in front of the engine you have a hose going to the bottom of the radiator, they are right in front of the main pulley. There is also the main radiator hoses that go to and from the engine.

Thats about all I can think of at the moment. Hope it helps. The easiest thing to do is jack the car up and look from the underside to find the leak. You'll see thinks much better that way. You also need to pull the black underside cover off to really see where its coming from cause it'll hit that then run. Then it just drips out of a hole in the cover so if thats there its real hard to tell where the leak is.

Check the radiator lower hose (its on the driver side lower part of the radiator), and that the engine block coolant drain plug is tight.

Other possible suspects in the coolant path on the driver side of the car is the thermo-sensor for your temp gauge and coolant lines going to the throttle body.

Good luck.
