NorthWet Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 All ea82 coolant leaks look like they are at the bottom... gravity at work. Check radiator hose and thermostat housing, little-bitty hose running from side of t-stat housing to underneath intake manifold (common leaker), intake-manifold-to-head gaskets (have a coolant passage), waterpump-bypass hose, heater hoses. Anything leaking on the topside of the engine will resent as drips off of the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old sub freak Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I have had a couple of coolant leaks where the metal pipe fits into the water pump.It seems that they started after a new water pump.That conection can be tricky to get it sealed right after it has been distrubed with the new pump.Anyway get a small mirror and snoop around..And yes sometimes its a bugger finding leaks with that graivity thing going....Things are not always what they seem....as far as where a leak starts....Good luck.

T-UNIT Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Bump!! Having similar issue with a 92 Loyale. I saw some up near the t stat hose last night... and my gaskets are shot. Bought it and resurrected it after a year and of sitting in the pnw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
