Could be the hose from the WP to the radiator. It's just held on by a gator clip,

 

I'll try that tonight, thanks.

We just replace that hose with new (screw type clamps) so that shouldn't be it. I put many hand on the hose and it wasn't wet or anything.

I'll keep the thread updated.

 

Ok, so I'm going to get my lazy butt out Sat to checks what's leaking and going to start with coolant elbows; anyone try the aluminum ones?

I so want it to be the source of the leak but I could of sworn I swap them out not too long ago.


Anyway, I'm going to have a mechanic friend there just in case it's the wp gasket (I won't touch it). However, he told he doesn't like them very much at all and actually prefers the plastic ones (hard to fit).

Anyone?

I won't have time to get the aluminum ones but just wanted to hear thoughts on the subject.

 

Aluminum ones are the only way to go. Some say get replacement o rings for them but I used the o rings the aluminum ones came with and no issues. They fit perfect I will never use plastic ones again

 

Good into, thank you for the reply.


Dammit, I should of posted sooner. I really want to get her back on the road again, and overnight shipping is 60 bucks on a $10 part from zzp.. I do have a $100 gift card I got for free though...lol


Wait, those are just Dorman ones, no? What are you running?

 

To my knowledge the zzp aluminum elbows are just Forman aluminum elbows. From what I have seen most parts stores by me stock both the plastic and aluminum elbows.

 

Thanks.

I checked after I posted, and yes, two places have them...Will report back.


Need to get this done and on to the hubs...sigh.

 

Hey Mac. As turbo said. They are the only way to go. Hopefully your LIM gaskets arent leaking. If you have the old plastic ones in there you might want to consider the aluminium replacements. But before I go ahead and throw parts at it. Have the system pressure tested first to see where your leak is coming from. That will accurately tell you where your leak is.

Thank you guys, sorry for the late reply...Sadly, she has been sitting as I've been doing lots of traveling. I just looked her over again with a buddy and it's the water pump so we'll be changing it out tomorrow (if I can get a goo replacement); any recommendations? Stay OEM?

 

I bet you have been busy, it's track season for you now. You placing on any events?

I would just do as you say and stay OEM...
