Water Leak!!

[jdbrady]

I was driving around today and my low coolant light came on. I went home and came back out a few hours later to check the coolant. After taking the radiator cap off I noticed it was really low. I get the hose out and start to add water back into it and I notice the sound of water coming out on the other side of the motor. I looked and see water pouring out of the motor below and to the right of the throttle body. Anyone have any clues as to what has gone bad? I don't have anytime today to take a look at it. Also if you know what it is can you tell me what I have to buy inorder to fix this? Thanks for any help guys. Here is a short crappy vid of the problem.

Your video does not appear to show the fluid in the act of leaking and you didn't provide a pointer of any kind to the specific hose/line in question.

Try to highlight where the leak actually is.

I woudl guess its the Coolant bypass at the throttlw body. There are rubber hoses there and its not uncommon for them to develop a leak,. very easy fix too.

either a cracked hose or leaky thermostat housing

I have found where the leak is coming from. Anyone know the name for this hose and maybe so tips on changing it?

Another shot of it.

does your heater core work?
if not... you can bypass all of those lines. Thats what those lines are for, the heater core. But you have to cut out the CELO sensor on one of the hard pipes, but leave yourself enough room on both sides to hook it back up to the heater hose your about to put in.
Using 5/8'' dia heater hose line, run from that outlet to the inlet(follow the hard pipes to the top of the thermostat housing) and in the middle of that line splice in the sensor.

If you give me a sec. i can post a pic of what i did.

However if your heater core is still functional, you can still remove all those lines, and just run regular heater hoses... atleast i dont see a problem with it...

be back with a pic..
EDIT: here ya go... best i have right now...

oh dude... That one is a ****** to change.. Don't salvage your heat over it though. Pop the hood shocks off and prop up the hood with a boom handle so you can get directly over it. The hose is connected to metal pipe with a fitting. It is one piece. You'll need to follow the curved metal pipe to the firewall where it turns into hose again. This is where you disconnect it from the firewall by loosening the clamp. Then take any sensores or plugs off that connect to the pipe. Then once it's all ready to be removed, loosen the clamp that goes over the rubber hose end by the back of the block. It's a pain to get off, and once you do it's also hard to get the pipe and hose out. You may need to disconnect a few hoses to get it out. Then as ling as it's only leaking at the fitting and the pipe isn't cracked, use a little grinder or saw to cut the aluminum fitting away from the pipe. don't ruin the pipe though. Now you can get a piece of nice insulated hi-temp hose and just clamp it directly over the pipe where the fitting was at. Then reinstall. Make sure the hoseclamps are both tight, along with the clamp that coonects the pipe to the firewall. Be prepared to have sore back after this one! Or do what Saleen SHO said. either way is good. I prefer the matal pipe though.
