so i been battling a coolant leak fix one something else go's and so on.

fixed the hose that is under the water pump and runs to the heater core, i think. well i fixed the u and about 4 inches after.

and i also thought the little line that runs from both heads to the coolant tank might have a leak?

haven't got down to it yet to fix since i got the remove the whole upper intake parts.
but have the next 2 days off to do so.
today i was on my way home stopped and put gas in it. came back out and the car had a good size puddle foot by foot and couple other spots. sub frame was soaked when i looked underneath. i noticed the started was wet the rear(trans ended) of the motor running down the trans and the front gets wet along with the belts and they have started to slip a little here and there. today was the most i seen it leak! so i hope to find the leak

also steams once the motor is up to temp ...

thanks

The Y fitting for the small hoses that go to the tank is delicate and may break. I have some brass ones if you need one.
