Need Help Water Leaking Out Of Car!

[disco_potatoe]

Hi everyone I have a r33 gtst s2 and this morning on my way to the city... My car lost all it's coolant and the temp went right up... Is not coming out of the radiator or bottle but somewhere upwards the back or the motor but I can find where abouts can someone help me out??? Any ideas where it could be coming from??? Is there any hose at the back that carries coolant????

Any help would be good help!!!

Thanks!

there are quite a few hoses all around the engine, but there are 2 main ones for the heater box that come from the engine and through the firewall.

i have split one of these before in my 180sx and they are a pain to get to because of being in a very tight space.

just remember that it may not be a very obvious hose being in 2 pieces kind of thing, usually there is a small slit in one of the hoses and it can be hard to tell which one it is. look again at where the coolant is coming from, see if you can trace it's path back up the engine to locate roughly the position of the leak. it may also be worth replacing more of the hoses when you are doing one, because as one goes several could follow (as happened in my 180... 5 different hoses later...)

It may also be worth checking your engine out such that it didn't get damaged with the heat, things like head gaskets sometimes like to go and/ or warping the head entirely (in a worst case).

Hope this helps.

maybe the turbo water line, it is metal but near the stater motor there is a tiny rubber bend! mine had a tiny pin hole it in and it was squirting up onto the gearbox then running down it!!

exact same thing happened to me too.

try parking your car somewhere dry for awhile and look for the wet spot

then trace the wetness up to the highest point and you'll find your leak
