rick_rabies

more checking and inspecting. clean it up and hav sum1 start it and find exactly where it leaks from.
water pipe? you mean the radiator hose? if so jsut get a new radiator hose

bboyjimpy

well its leaking near the firewall.. the metal pipe that connects to the water pump... its leaking around that area.. an it drains all my radiator fluid!

Yep, sounds like the O-ring in the water pipe!

bboyjimpy

so im guessing coolant can leak from there right???... you think its possible to fix it withiout taking out that motor?

rick_rabies

yeah it sounds like its the heater core. where 2 hoses go into your firewal to feed the heater. drain your coolant. replace those 2 hoses and while you at it check the 2" metal pipes the hoses attach to and see if they are punctured. good luck. you can do this from up top or down below under it

bboyjimpy

for a fact i know it isnt hose.. when the car leaks we turn the car off and try touching all the hoses... for some reason we dont feel no radiator fluid. from under we can see it leaking onto the o2sensor part of the header..first the thermo housing was leaking cause we felt the fluid around it so i sealed the thermostat housing TIGHT and it didnt leak anymore.. but something else leaked.. i had two leaks and i cant figure the other one... no hoses forsure though.. i really think it can be the metal pipe was my brother messed wit it before i put the swap in

rick_rabies

do what i did then. cap the to hoses to the heater. 1 on the head and the other on the thermo tube. and rip out all the heater stuff....but then again. i have nothing in my car but a motor

bboyjimpy

-_- man I hate this leak. Stopping me from driving to school

rick_rabies

jack it up and look real good at things and get def answers. i hope it isnt 10 degrees where you live like it is here

bboyjimpy

Nah it's back to being hot so I'm good

Well having a leak isn't so luck lmao. I really think it's the water pipe..

Mr.Volks

it only leaks when its on?
also try using a black light

bboyjimpy

Yeah only when it's on
I found out what it was though.
The water pipe is loose where it connects to the thermostat.
Me and my brother just took out the whole thermostat and put it back in carefully and
tight.
Turned my car on and no leaks.
