Leak from small coolant spout SK2 Mani
Hey guys, I am having a bit of a weird issue. The small secondary coolant spout on the back of the Skunk2 GSR Intake Manifold is leaking. I first tried to plug it up when i first installed this with a vacuum cap and a small hose clamp and it seemed to work fine. Recently it started to leak so i replaced the vacuum cap but it still leaks. I wanted to know if I could run a brass "T" fitting to the coolant lines that flow through the Throttle Body? Would that work? If anyone has any other suggestions it would be appreciated. Thanks

Re: Leak from small coolant spout SK2 Mani
That is actually the best way to install that manifold. Run a short hose to a T fitting in the line that feeds the Fast Idle Thermo Valve on the bottom of the throttle body. That way coolant is flowing rather than building pressure behind a plug. This should remedy your leaking issue. If you have any more questions about any Skunk2 products give us a call at 951.808.9888.

Re: Leak from small coolant spout SK2 Mani
okay I ran that small hose and used the T fitting into the existing throttle body hoses and i thought that would fix the issue but its still no good. I'm not spewing coolant but there is a small leak after a bit of driving. Anybody have any suggestions to fix this. I don't really know where to go form here. Thanks!
