    Coolant System Diagram

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey so I have a coolant leak somewhere in the system... I can smell the syrup smell (mmmmmm....) and the coolant is running low I had to top it off again, but I cant figure out where the leak is for the life of me. Does anyone have a diagram of where the coolant runs?

    I know its not in any really visible spots, and I feel like its near the passenger side of the motor... Ive already searched around but I couldnt find where it was. Thanks guys

    check your turbo coolant lines.. the good thing about using G12 coolant is that it leaves a trace whereever the coolant leaks from.. just look for pink spots on your hoses. Have you thrown it up on ramps to look from the underside?

    Nah not yet but its annoying because the Jersey winters leave that salt crap that kinda looks like the coolant buildup, its hard to tell... I guess Ill have to put it up on ramps. Im so annoyed I can smell it but I cant find it

    throw a piece of cardboard under your engine when you park it.. this will tell you almost exactly where its coming from then you can get a good idea on where to start looking.. ohh and the coolant residue will be unmistakabley PINK
