Coolant leak out of the back of my 1.6
« on: March 07, 2007, 04:42:16 PM »
I am leaking coolant from where the tranny and engine come together... A freind said it is most likely the freeze plugs... head gasket was replaced not too long ago. Anybody know anything about doing this project?

Any possibility it's leaking out of a heater hose and seeping back to where it appears like some kind of another leak?

A heater hose would be alot easier than pulling a engine to replace the freeze plugs.
Lets hope that is all it is jerry,that will save us alot of time before moab.

look at the firewall . you can see both and follow them
one goes to the tube that comes out of the waterpump  the other goes to firewall
heater control valve then to the intake. theres also a couple small ones

I thought for SURE my head gasket went on my sami, but it ended up being a coolant hose that came to the back of my carborator. $1 fix. Look carefully, and make sure you know where that leak is comming from.

LOL... would that be safe? Not so much for the dutchman, but my vehicle... he could get all wrapped up in my driveline or something... The leak is bad enough that it bothers me... it has a slow constant drip....
