There are two hoses coming off the heater core. The one on the passenger side goes straight forward, but the one closer to the drivers side goes down behind near the bell housing. At that point I can't tell where it goes.

Does anyone know what it ties into at that point? Does someone have a diagram?

MY PROBLEM: I capped off the coolant line at my throttle body (temporarily) and removed my heater core for replacement. I'm now dripping coolant from behind the engine and down onto my exhaust while the engine is running. I'm not sure if its just some coolant left over in that hose that goes behind the block or if that line ties into another part of the cooling system. If it does tie into another part of the system, that you can't just cap off the throttle body.

Does anyone understand this? (its really late). -dan

Circulates through the oiler cooler between the oil filter and the block.
Connect the 2 lines at the TB together, do the same for the 2 hoses that connected to the heater core if you haven't replaced it yet.
