check you're thermostat housing and hoses

I just got done fixing a coolant leak. The coolant connecting tube that runs along side of the back has an o-ring on both ends. One of them could be bad. I would suggest jacking up the car and sliding under it with it idling. (E-Brake on!) Try to find where the water is trickling from.

yea, mines leaking from the cooland pipe as well. It was really hard to spot the source until I crawled under it.

It's also a PITA to remove the intake manifold. I can remove the whole head faster then I can change the intake.

removing the intake manifold bottom bolts is hard to get to but there is a way to get to the bottom bolts but first you have to remove the dumb bracket that holds your intake manifold up once that is removed just remove your throttle body if you havent already to get the bracket bolts off once that is removed there is just enough room to fit a ratchet with a extension and a 12mm socket deep or shallow which ever you prefer.
