coolant leaking

Post by domy_69 »

Ok here is my problem, my et is leaking coolant from somewhere at the back of the engine, it has only started to do it. I checked the hoses at the back that i could see and they are fine, where elase could it be coming from.
Thankyou.

I know in my girlfriends old car, one of the welch plugs had a tiny tiny hole in it. Was a bastard to find under the intake manifold.

My RRC engine was doing this, it was the welsh plug under the intake manifold, just above the oil filter. It seems to be the one that goes the most often in these engines.
