Leaking coolant!!!

[Two40s13]

Im leaking coolant from behind the motor, it leaks almost as fast as I put it in. Any idea what it could be?

[midnighttoker]

I would say coolant line to the turbo

[Two40s13]

ill check that out, I am in the dark bout it lol.

[midnighttoker]

I am pretty much too when it comes to cars period ,but I know the coolant line runs to the turbo so thats probably it

My guess is a freeze plug.

you need to contort your body any way you need to to get a visual on the leak. you can't just speculate. use a mirror for hard to see spots. sounds like you should be able to see it if you threw a jack under it, and grab a flashlight, and look for the point of exit.

Yea, u had it jacked up and I was under it getting soaked lol.

ok turns out its the frost plug. they put a new one in and the compression in one of the cylinders is ****ed up. Something about when the car gets warm it drops dramatically in that one cyl. any ideas? they are gonna look into it monday but id just like to have some idea what it could be.

sounds like a possible head gasket or head problem. it may have built up too much pressure in the cooling system, popped your already failing freeze out plug. a leak down check and a chemical headgasket test sounds like its in order. good luck

damn, I thought it could be that. I just dont want it too be lol

never fun. but its really not the end of the world. hopefully its just the gasket.

[Two40s13]
