OK, it happened today at 3:30pm when I got to work, huge ppuddle of coolant underneath my Formula . It's dripping from somewhere don't know where though. Popped the hood, seem like the coolant collects on the passenger side between the head and lower intake (where the injectors are) . What is wrong, gasket, head cracked, intake cracked, or worst of all block cracked? ( ) It's bleeding collant in the parking lot as I write this. The one thing I have noticed is that only the coolant from the resivoir and a very small amount from the radiator is missing. If anyone stumbles across this please respond ASAP. I'm at my wit's end. One more thing, I'm running DEX-COOL (orange coolant). All help is greatly appreciated.

 

Do you have a TB bypass? Ok, few things to check:
Heater valve
Manifold connection
Try the waterpump
Fill the resevior and let the car run. look for the bubbling and that should be about where your leak is.

 

Kinda stupid idea but is there anything wrong with the resevior.

 

between the head and intake is where coolent puddles form.... i would be looking at your thermostat housing, upper radiator hose where it connects to the housing, and the TB coolent holes.

if it was coming from the engine, it would more likely drip into the engine, not go up and onto the manifold.....



btw, why are your running dexcool???

 

No TB bypass, resevoir ok, waterpump good (it's not "weeping"). IT actually stopped today, but I smell coolant coming from somewhere, It's not the heater core cuz I turned the heater on and smelled no coolant from the vents, maybe a head gasket, but I smell no coolant from the exhaust either. Like I said, It's good now, but who knows what will happen later down the line.
