kgctim Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 looking for some ideas on where to start without physically pulling the intake manifold off to troubleshoot. I rebuilt my rear brakes and took the car out for a spirited drive about 5 miles total probably and felt GREAT. got home and noticed a little steam, it's cold here so I wasnt super concerned until I saw coolant dripping from under the intake manidfold somewhere. I did some searches on the forum and saw that the NA has a coolant line that goes to the oil filter housing, I know MOST cars have a couple of coolant lines that run in between the upper/lower intake manifold. I planned to pull the intake mani at some point to clean everything and replace some hoses, but now i HAVE to.... Anyone have some ideas on where to start looking? its literally UNDER the central part of the manifold. I wanted to rebuild/re-ring the injector system while I have it apart. anyone have a digram or pictures of the coolant lines under the intake manifold and is there a way to replace the lines without taking it all off? like from under the car perhaps? looking for a quick fix to get me by for a while...LOL its COLD outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 No quick fix mate intake has to come off, just to confirm the leak you could use a inspection mirror Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 You might be able to do the coolant hoses from underneath. You can certainly get them off the oil cooler/filter housing, I am just not sure where the other ends of each piece are exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgctim Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 I bet those hoses are rock hard too... I too think its best to suck it up and pull the manifold apart anyway to clean up the engine and make sure everything else is up to par. Thanks for the input gents! anyone have a good set of pic or a diagram of the intake manifold hosing and such? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
