Help!

soo last weekend i changed my intake manifold gaskets and pretty much did a complete tune up on the car as well. Everything was running great the whole week until i spotted a coolant on the garage floor yesterday. I checked all around the heads and nothing is leaking there like it did before i changed the gaskets and there are no leaks in the hoses. I drained my oil just to check if by some chance coolant was again leaking in but it was clean. Any ideas as to where this coolant could be leaking from?

where was the coolant..under the engine or more in front?

Stang25 · March 16th, 2010, 05:25 PM

towards the front of the engine, i checked the drain spout on the radiator too just to make sure i wasnt going crazy lol and it was closed

check the heater hose in the back i had that problem and it drained coolant all the way to the front of my engine

heater hose is tight and not leaking...it can see some coolant running along the engine block and dripping down to the sway bar but thats it
