Coolant leaking from behind motor?

10-05-2011, 02:05 PM

RESOLVED, THANK YOU.

Hey experts...I have coolant coming out from somewhere in behind my motor. I opened the bowl on the bell housing that covers the flywheel since it seems to have come from under that area. It doesn't appear to be the coolant hose behind the head near the firewall or any of the hoses on the T connector. This is an M20 that I swapped in and nearly all gaskets and seals were replaced.

Any clues?

No longer stock ride height, rolling as low as a daily driver in New England should without worrying about breaking an oil pan. :up:

The only places that coolant an could leak at the rear of the engine are the head gasket, heater hose connections, throttle body hose nipple, or head freeze plugs. A pressure test of the cooling system should find the leak.

The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
