off-road-knight Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 hello, well I just recently got my first subaru running:banana: (87 gl10 turbo) right after the first start I noticed my coolant getting shot out of a hole on the backside of the intake manifold directly at the flywheel opening (where the timing marks are) can anyone explain where this coolant should passage to? could I just block it? any info would be great:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Undo the '4wd turbo' plenum and lift it up. Disconnect the air hose from the bottom, and remove it. From there you should ba able to see a coolant hose that runs across the top of the block from the thermostat housing to the turbo itself. This is likely your leak. Other potential leak is the 1/4" hose under the intake to the top of the block. You would have easy access to this hose with a long screwdriver and by moving the alternator up. When this hose leaks, it usually nruns off the back of the motor by the bellhousing, or pools up in the #3 spark pluig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
