I took my car out yesterday and all of a sudden I have a massive streaming coolant leak.

It is coming out BENEATH the air pump. I cannot yet find exactly where it is coming from.

Is there some sort of a coolant hose or a bad seal in that area?

Thanks in advance for ANY help!

I'm a new FD owner with my shop manual in the mail

 

I had a heavy leak in a similar area. I had to take my intakes off and intercooler and my airpump off to access it. Mine was a small 4" or so long piece of coolant hose going from the block to the turbos. The turbos have a steel coolant line coming from each turbo that connects to the rubber one that may be bad. From my experience it was a very violent leak with lotsa steam

 

That would be one of the turbo coolant hoses.

I would replace both of those and all other coolant hoses. Hose ruptures are very dangerous for the engine.

 

Thanks a ton for the help guys I've got my shop manual on order and hopefully that will help this newbie out

I've heard Malloy mazda is the place to get them cheap so I'll check them out

thanks again!

 

An upgrade to silicone hoses might be a good idea. I have seen molded silicone radiator hoses advertised on E-bay.
