Default Coolant Leak-Not the Pipes or the Tank

Just changed out the cooling pipes on my '04 and still have a leak. The majority of fluid is leaking inside the drivers side tire.

I pulled the manifold again and all is dry there so it must be coming from somewhere else right? Any ideas?

Thanks. Jeff

There are some hoses and tees behind the engine that can leak. Follow the three new aluminum pipes out the back of the valley. They connect to three rubber hoses. Your leak is probably coming from the one closest to the driver's side, as there is a plastic tee in it that can get brittle. It may be easier to get at from the bottom. Good luck!

Thanks, I found it...one of two rubber hoses that run in the wheel well. Quick replacement, just wish I saw it before I did the coolant pipes!

Hey, be happy you don't have to worry about the coolant pipes now.
