    Default Don't know where my coolant leak is coming from?

    I have a light trail of coolant on top of the tranny on the driver side of the car. My guess is the lower intake manifold. but the car has a new aluminum lim gasket and new sc gasket and they were leak free for 6 or 7k miles. it was leaking in the same spot before i put the aluminum lim gasket on. im debating on whether or not it could possibly be the head gasket. there is no coolant in the engine oil, i check it frequently. what do you guys think?
    Also next week im putting on new 1.9 rockers and 90# springs. i just wanna make sure i don't have to do anything twice

    Either a tb gasket or the turn around gasket. There is a little cover right below the TB.. it can/will leak.


    If Dave feels 60% throttle is 100%, what does he tell his wife.

    Alright just took a look and its green under the tb adaptor, so now I'm gonna use high temp rtv. Thank you fivefingerdeathpunch. I didn't think to look there. I was scared it was a bigger problem lol.

    If tap and plug the little coolant holes on the lim you wouldnt have that problem, and you'd be able to remove the tb and sc without draining the coolant
