After doing some general maintenance on the car yesterday afternoon (Seafoam, air filter, PCV) I decided that I'll change both the tiny coolant hose and the gaskets for the intake. Then, it's on to the oil leaks. As a side note, I've never had a vehicle undergo a Seafoam treatment and change this drastically!

I'll have a look at that hose. Sounds like it may be the culprit. I'll post my findings. It probably wouldn't hurt to replace all the coolant hoses for some extra peace of mind. I will most definitely take a look at the intake too. No it's a red Loyale I picked up from southern Indiana last week. It just so happens that a neighbor that lives about a block away has a white 1992 Legacy in blue and white that I really wanted but his price was astronomical and he would not come down even though I offered him a more than fair price for it. The tires were horribly worn and it had rust holes I could stick my fist through. It was also an automatic.

Hello all, I'm new here and just acquired a 1990 Loyale. I bought it as a winter beater so I wouldn't ruin my other car during the brutal midwest winter. I'm starting to enjoy driving it and wish to make it mechanically sound. I discovered a coolant leak after a small puddle formed in my driveway. I topped off the coolant and ran the car for a while and didn't see anything so I gave up and went inside. This morning when I came out the puddle was there and some coolant was puddled up on the LH cylinder head in a spark plug hole. Not very much, just enough to take notice. It drips off the head and onto the aft part of the engine then makes its way to the ground bringing grime from underneath the car with it. It seems minor but I can't quite figure out where it's leaking from. Here's where it puddles in the spark plug hole. Here is where I think it is coming from. It doesn't make sense considering it's part of the intake system. Does coolant run through or around it? Here is where it pools up below the starter. Extra gross down there. Thanks for any help I get. I imagine it is some hose I'm just passing over or I can't see. If anyone can recommend a good shop manual that would be great too.
