    Strange coolant loss with jacking up engine

    I was replacing my royally fucked engine mounts the other day (they were sheared off the mounts), and to replace them and move the engine i had to jack it pretty high up....well i jacked it up to a point and coolant started leaking down under the transmission???? it looked like it was running from the top of the trans...where could this be coming from? i lowered it back down and the leak stoped...but im afraid to drive it now for fear that i stretched/broke some barrier that will come apart when the pressure is raised in the coolant system.

    the coolant neck on the back of the head.

    you may have broken it, or jammed the hose against the firewall.

      well if its broken i would assume it would have kept leaking, so i hoped i just jammed it against the firewall....though ive never seen this hose before...can visually see it? or is it hidden from view?

        You may need a flashlight, but you'll be able to see it by looking under your intake manifold.

          You could have broken that little pipe, if I remember correctly heater core line is running to it. It wasn't going to leak continously because it only leaked whatever coolant was up top.
