Hey guys,
I apparently just sprung a fairly hefty coolant leak. It's all over the top of the trans, in big puddles, and seems to be coming fast (half a resevoir in 2 days). I've checked ALL the larger hoses there, nothing is wet. The only wet hose I found is a 3/4" 90-degree elbow directly below the throttle cable bracket (above the starter). It connects to a black metal pipe on one side, and a connector with another hose coming out of it on the other. The bottom side of the bend is wet, but I can't determine if it's coolant; also, although it's high enough up (and far enough back) to explain the runoff on the trans bellhousing, I couldn't see it drip while I was running the engine.
Does anyone know what gets routed through this setup? Has anyone had it fail? Where else that high on the engine could I be leaking?
