Default Coolant leak for Skunk2 intake manifold.

Can anyone with a S2 intake manifold tell me what they did to plug/reroute the coolant from the smaller coolant spout. I read the FAQ already but the pictures were gone and I'm a little confused on what to do. And this is a GSR motor in a 96 civic if that matters.

Thanks
Matt

I took a piece of tubing that would fit snug over it and plugged it with a bolt and put one of those small metal clamps over both ends. You can kind of see the end of it in this picture:

How long have you had it like that. Do you ever worry that it might pop off from pressure. I bought my car with the manifold on it, then one day I was driving and my car over heated. So after inspecting what was wrong I found that there was nothing over that spout. I'm thinking the same thing was done before and it popped off.

I've had it for a year like that now. When i first did it, it popped off but then i bought some better clamps and made it tighter. Works like a charm...

Thats why i put sealant on it before i stuck the lil piece in the tube and it hasn't leaked at all and hasn't budged at all.
