Coolant Leak..

[kones]

So i got my car back from tuners with a coolant leak..

I have replaced all water hoses with new silicon hoses and checked everything..

Filled up my car this arvo with fresh Nulon, After probably 3 litres goes in it starts leaking from what i can see is down off the starter motor, and down off the gearbox.

Does anyone have any idea of what it could be. Im leaning towards heater issues in the dash but i dont have wet carpet,...

Thanks Al

maybe from welsh plug? a good radiator place will be able to pressure test it for you

Theres a little turbo cooler line at the very back on the engine, behind the rocker covers....right down the back (for an rb25det) may be the same for your 32. Check that with a mirror after a run.

You may have the common problem with cheap chinese silicon kits, they weep and develop pinhole leaks

From what i can see, it is not leaking out of the block in any way.

The hoses are a JJR set from Just jap..

The coolant leaked out before the engine was turned one.. once i started filling it up. it just trickled out

Did you sort this out?

I have the same problem now. Looks to be the metal pipe running from back of engine to under the starter motor for coolant.

it will be one of the hoses in the picture in this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/387184-what-is-this-part/

Does anyone know what part number this is and the best way to get it off?

Its a RB25

the hard line feed to the turbo?

That hard line wont be leaking, that line starts from the inlet manifold, on the inlet side there is a 90 degree rubber hose that goes around the back corner of the head, its an absolute bitch to replace the rubber hose, it was easier for me to connect a hose to the inlet manifold and then run rubber hose to where you have taken the pic and join back to the hard line there.

It is the hard line, it is corroded visibly squirts out when there is water in the radiator.

ok, my fix would still be the same, trace it back to where the rubber hose on the other end joins on the inlet manifold and run rubber hose around the back to some where in your picture, cut the hard line there and slip the rubber hose over it, will do just as good job for 1/10th the headaches
