well im at the end of my gsr turbo project, and when i went to pour coolant in my radiator, it went in and i hear it pouring out from underneath the car. i looked and all the hoses are hook up from what i can see, it looks like its leaking from somewhere near the oil filter, any ideas would be great? thanks

 

back of the engine might be the heating coolant hose.

 

Yea check the heater hose or it might be the metal tubbing in the back of the engine. Follow the top hose the the thermostat and check there as well hell maybe you didnt clamp the hoses right. Thats what happend to me and i kicked my self in the head lol for it

 

im gonna check it when i get home, i was thinking it was a heater hose, im hoping that is what it is, this is the only thing i have left to do on the car

 

borrow a coolant pressure tester and that will pin point the leak!

 

even though they are all hooked up maybe take a closer look possibly a hole or cut in one of the tubes....

 

heh I just replaced ALL coolant hoses on my engine because I was sick of chasing down coolant leaks. I pulled the IM off to get to the ones underneath there, but it would have been 100x easier if I had pulled the whole engine out.

There are several hoses between the IM, IACV, heater pipes, oil cooler, etc. and that big tube between the thermostat housing and water pump underneath the IM.

 

i dont have an oil filter in mine right now and when i turn her over it pours coolant out the filter... some reason.. call me dumb.. but i dont think thats to happen
