COOLANT Leak - Not heater core? Howdy! Alright, my buddy and I are getting frustrated as hell. I have a pretty decent amount of coolant leaking from the passenger side of my car somewhere near the firewall it looks like but its NOT the heater core! The coolant is leakin so bad when the heater is on at a rate of about 2-3 drops a second maybe more and causes a puddle pretty quick but doesn't seem to leak when the heater is off.
The water pump and thermostat look great and have 12k miles on them. The hoses and hose clamps look great. The radiator is not leaking anywhere. I am at a loss for what else could be leaking and maybe I am just missing something on this car without having a lot of experience with it.
I did take the throttle body off not long ago (but without disconnecting coolant lines) to clean it out and just bolted it back in. Could i have messed something up there?
Thanks for any input -Karl
