  1. Nope. It's not the coolant outlet line. That isn't leaking at all. Must be the inlet. It only leaks drastically when the car is off.
  2. So... How do I get to it and replace it? Head shield is off, and I took my intake off. I can see almost all of the lines that go to the turbo. Blah... I'm a total noob at this. Diagram anyone?
  3. I just shot off my car, and that damn line was spraying coolant all over the place. The one coming from the turbo. Took these pics just before I shut the engine off: I confirmed that the line does go to the turbo. I just didn't wanna stick my face under the car while it was spraying coolant everywhere. Lmao. I'll let the engine cool a bit and wait till it stops dripping coolant. I do have about 10" of 3/8" hose. How will that work?
  4. Nevermind! I found my leak. I'm gonna take a pic. I have no clue what the line leads to.
  5. Hm... they are power steering lines? Why would they be leaking coolant? And Rob, I found the lines that you are talking about. The ones going into and coming out of the Turbo. I can only see where they go into and not out of. Though, I'll be looking and checking.
  6. Ok, I let it run and found the leak. Both lines there, are leaking. Those are coolant lines right? (I don't have my repair manual with me, so I'm kinda lost)
  7. Thats what I had planned on doing. Also, did you see the crushed boot down at the bottom right of that image. I have no clue how that got that way as I haven't bottomed out or taken any corners hard.
  8. Alright, I got a few really high definition pictures of where I Think the leak is coming from. Here's one for now: http://img359.imageshack.us/img359/394/amiscrewedorwhatki8.jpg
  9. 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!
