creative Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 need a little more than that? does it overheat? any white smoke (steam) out of the exhaust? oil in the water or vice versa? Have you looked around the matrix pipes, checked your passenger footwell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creative Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 is it these engines that have had cases whereby they lose coolant from the back of the head or is that a different car? I cant remember now! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest david Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 OK had another look round and i think it might be a slight leak from the water pump could this be a new gasket if so how hard are they to change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 19supra89 had a recent water leak which was a pain in the arse to find. I had a look for him and found the gasket on the water pump was leaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
