1992 3.0 CA with an EGR.
Lost alot of coolant, quickly. The leak 'seems' to be under the throttle body but above the thermostat housing. The t-stat housing and hose are dry, but the buttom of the throttle body is dripping and so is everything back towards the firewall.

I will be looking at again in the light in a few hours (literally). ANYONE got a thought on a coolant hose around there. Even the spark plug wires running to the rear of the engine bay are damp with coolant, but nothing in front!

Is there a coolant hose that goes into the throttle body? I dont think so ... but yeah ...

there are coolant lines that run up through the manifold, check if one came loose. if you want you can bypass the path through the manifold, just take a peak at it and you wil see how it works

If that coolant line to the TB came off you will no doubt lose massive amount of coolant. Have you removed the TB recently? Look at the bottom of the TB, the largest hose underneath is coolant.

Well got to look at the car in daylight today. The coolant is NOT coming from around the throttle body. It is coming from, below the back head and in front of the firewall, directly above the cats.
I had a wedding today, so did not get to spend much time with it. Tomorrow night I will tear into it.

Any advice.

Check the heater core hoses. There are two that run from the firewall to the hard lined hose.
