Vehicle: 1989 Subaru RX
Engine: EA82T
Alright, so yesterday I did quite a bit of running around as I am moving into my new apartment, did about 200 miles.
2/3rds of the way through the trip, we stopped to pick up my check. I get out and notice fluid draining from beneath my car.
Sure enough it's coolant. At the time, the terrain I was parked on and the traffic, I couldn't tell where it was coming from. So I drove a few miles (Engine running hot) to the nearest auto supply store and put in about 2 quarts of coolant. Putting it in, the engine ran quite cool for the duration of the trip. I ended up stopping at the bank and all of a sudden, I come back out and there's a massive puddle where my car is again. (Where there had previously not been).
So, I put in more coolant and drove to another auto supply store. It ran cool that time as well, and didn't increase in temp.
I get there, and try and find the leak again. Still unable to find the source, but I know the general area now. (passenger side, right in front of the axel) I was fed up with it, and ended up buying a bottle of stop leak. From what I've been told on NASIOC, this was a bad idea. Yet, I didn't know it at the time.
It drives cool for the last leg of the trip, but upon putting it in park, it starts to drain coolant at an alarming rate again.
I got under the car with what little daylight I had left yesterday, but I still couldn't find exactly where the leak was, though I am suspect of two lines that are nestled between a bracket. One of them has its housing split, but the inner hose exposed. Another is up by the turbo, whilst it was not directly wet and green, the axle and whatnot below it were soaked.
I'll be putting up pictures later if I can still not locate the leak. But if I can locate it, I'll post up the images of what I found anyways.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks everyone!
