Was under the hood today and saw a spot that i never saw before. does this look like dried up coolant to you guys? those 2 hoses right over the leak are the coolant bypass lines right? or something else? i think the leak came from overhead. what do u guys think.

 

those two hoses ...coolant hoses that goto the tb .. yea. Could try and screw the clamps a little tigher (cant tell what kind you have, but screw ones are better IMO).

None of the autoparts stores around here had a clue what I was talking about when I tried to replace my hoses... they didnt show anything close to it in the computers either. I did the ghetto TB bypass (hose up and around deal) b/c I didnt have time to do anything else... tight time schedule when I was fixing it.

it looks like he has those clamp kind & yeah the screw kind are better i think....did you check the hoses to see if you need to replace them?

61 Camaro 88..where did you find those screw kind?

 

talked to someone that had this problem before. the fitting in the red box needs to be replaced. unfortutenly, he said it will break flush w/ the intake manifold when i try to take it out and will cause me grief. i hope i just get lucky and it doesnt break.
