now i'm loosing coolant... GREAT(pic) !

I know of people that have used food coloring, put it in the coolant a wait. Any color but green

yea looks like your a victum of corrosion there bud, That sucks

So that metal coolant pipe is what is leaking?? That is odd. I would think the hoses would go first!

Brad

its not the actual pipe, its like its under the pipe, someplace under it, above the motor mount, i'll check it out again.... will food coloring fuck up my engine ?

Depends.... what are you going to use it for??

Brad

could be the base of the thermo housing...

i had the same problem.
it was the peice right above were you say"i have a puddle of coolant here"(red arrow)that tube is held in by a plastic clip thing----lack of better words :lol: the rubber seal is probably cooked.
new peice costs about 10$(can) easy fix
hope that helps

id check everything for snuggness and tightness,

id also take out the thermostate and check the seal, and may just as well replace it at the same time, and get a new seal for the housing,

other than that its prolly nothing too bad, prolly just a loose clamp

YAY ! yep it was the piece thatas above the place where i say i have a puddle here, thanx guys.... off to the next problem !

Snap-on makes an ultraviolet pen light that's great for detecting coolant leaks. it's like 20 bucks but it's a huge time saver

it was a piss of for me trying to find it.
glad i was able to help out some what

yep 8)

ya the cooling system always seem to be a chain of events if its not properly maintained it was for me.just follow the path it take around the engine an wiggle/poke at things.i found its easiest when the engine is hot to find the leak cause of the presure.it will just keep leaking every time you fix just one thing(might not)cause its that whole "you are the weakest link" :x
