Is there a place between the Blower and Intake Manifold where coolant could leak?

[Rez90]

I ask because 10k ago i installed my stage two upgrade. I decided to pull the blower vs the front end. Everything went fine and i did the job myself....but ever since doing it there is always a faint smell of coolant from my engine and i find myself having to ad coolant every month or so.

I'll be happy to pull the blower again to fix any leak that might be there...but at the same time i'm not looking to do the work if there's no actual outlet for a potential leak.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Not that I saw. Check the coolant hoses at the front of the blower that needed to be removed to take the charger off.

I've check them a few times and they're dry. very curious where this could be coming from...

Small leak from the coolers in the charger maybe.

You can swap them out. They are sold separate.

The leak has to be coming from one of your external connections if you can smell it. If the intercooler brick was leaking, you wouldn't smell it because it would be inside the blower and consumed my the motor. Check the bleeder screws on top and look closely with a good flash light at all the hose connections up front. Also inspect the line coming off of the coolant expansion tank...mine had a small leak after moving it for the spark plugs and coil swap.

If the system is still pressurized, and his leak is bad enough, he could smell it leaking when the car is off after warm up. But that would probably dictate a misfire at start up.

The thermostat is at the front of the V u see the charger iirc
