So, my car sprung a coolant leak from what I originally thought was a throttle body heater bypass hose to the block OR from it's nipple on the block.
So after ordering the right hose from autohausaz by the part number, it arrived and looked nothing like the hose that came off of the car. So I decided to just get a bolt of the right pitch to plug the hole in the block, and basically bypass the throttle body heater hoses.
This is where my throttle cable decided to break, good thing I had a new one on hand. 20 minutes later and it's replaced.
Now to make it worse, I get the bolt and washers, install it and fill the car up with water to find out it's still leaking.
Drum roll please.
Yep, it's leaking from that damn water pump to heater hose metal pipe that's attached to the side of the block under the intake manifold.
There is no way I am removing the manifold to fix this.
Total fail.
