Thanks Uncle Ed! One of the small hoses is leaking coolant. Thank God it wasn't something worse. I went to a few places but they didn't have that hose in stock so I was wondering if you guys could tell me what the name is for that part so I can order it online. I attached a picture for reference (small bent hose with Phillips clamp).

And is an intake manifold gasket replacement something a very inexperienced person can do? I've only ever changed a valve cover gasket and front brake pads. Also, could you guys tell me how to put spaces between my sentences? When I post it clumps everything back together even though I hit the enter bar.

Thanks for the quick replies! Ok so the hole with the coolant actually has no threads so it's not for a bolt. You can see it in the second picture. Though there is another empty hole with threads to the right of it. And there is coolant near the lower passenger side spark plug (pic 2), but none managed to get in. There was only coolant (not too much) in the upper plug (pic 1). In pic 2 you can see that there is some dried coolant around the bolts on both sides of the green.. thing. I'm mechanically handicapped, so can you guys tell me how to diagnose a blown head gasket? And could you explain what/where the copper elbow is? I'm not sure what the intake manifold or cylinder head is, but I have a repair manual that can help me figure it out. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to find out where the leak is coming for sure? I think the car runs fine. It seems a little slow, but I thought that's normal for this model. It doesn't accelerate fast and generally tops at 80mph (please tell me thats normal). I've noticed the temperature get high (but not in the red) only twice now, but it quickly cooled off and it was caused by low oil levels. The car sounds pretty loud, but that's normal too from what I've read. I'm not sure what to be looking/hearing for when I drive. I think I went in a bit over my head buying this car and am now regretting it.

Hi everyone, I recently picked up a 94 loyale with a few problems. Today I was replacing the valve cover gasket and decided to check my spark plugs for oil. I unexpectedly found some coolant on my spark plug (upper passenger side). I also realized that I was empty on coolant. I don't know where the leak is coming from, but I do have some clues. Hopefully you guys can help me out. I took some pictures but didn't realize that they are oversized for this forum so I'm going to retake them in about 30 minutes when I get home. Best description I can give for now is that there is puddle of coolant 12 and 3 o'clock from the upper passenger side spark plug, as well as what looks like a bolt hole beside it (is there supposed to be something in there?). Pics will be up soon. Thanks in advance!
