    Coolant leak locations

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have to fill my reservoir for coolant every 2 days now. I have a leak but can't seem to find it. Sometimes there is coolant under the car and sometimes not.

    What are the most likely places coolant leaks occur on these cars.

    I think I see some coolant by the temperature switch (green switch, driver side of motor) and I saw some liquid dripping from the passenger side, firewall behind the heat shield. What is there? Heater core? that might have been condensation from the air conditioner though?
    Water pump?

    I have considered that the head gasket might be done but I don't have a lack of power and no smoke out the tailpipes.

    Where have your coolant leaks been?

    - Coolant flange on LS of engine, under the cover.
    - WP o-ring to block, under center F of engine
    - coolant lines (4) to/from turbocharger scroll
    The Spartans do not enquire how many enemy there are. They enquire only where they are.

    thanks, could be the coolant lines to the turbo. It was recently replaced with a KO4. I'll check that out tonight
