Coolant leak (help needed)
Hi everyone, im in desperate need of a exploded wiew scematic of my firebird -92 3.1L V6 engine, sinse i live in Sweden its almost impossible to find one, so i hoped that some of you guys could help (please)??
The thing is that i have a strange coolant leak, it comes from below the starter engine were there is a "shield" of some kind with a small drainage hole in it, guess what comes out of the hole.
I have checked all hoses and stuff like that but everything seems ok, and still i have my own little river from my car every time ive been out for a spin.
Anyone got any ideas ?? (or scematics)
Sorry for any misspellings (Did i mention that im from Sweden
)

have you thought about your heater core? try taking some of your dashboard apart on the passenger side, i found anti-freeze everywhere when i took mine apart and i FINALLY knew where my coolant was leaking from.

Re: Coolant leak (help needed)
Katana, before you start removing the dash, rub your hand over the entire floor on the passengers side. If it comes up wet or damp, you need a new heater core. You may also check out your freeze plugs and you will need a good flashlight or manual to find them. If it leaks from between the engine and transmission, it could be a freeze plug on the back of the engine. Your English is as good or better than mine. Keep an eye on the coolant recovery tank, keep it at the proper level and notice how much it uses each time you drive it. Check fittings where any hoses go the firewall. Jim

. I got my leak fixed (hopefully).It was from the back of the intake manifold.
