Hi guys, seeing if anyone has some opinions or pointers here
I've been adding coolant every once in awhile but never read into it since I never had to add very much. But over the weekend while under the car I found coolant all down the back of the engine and down the trans.
It's hard to see where it's coming from or where it may have just dripped from gravity. Most of where the head meets the block is dry except for the very rear. But I found coolant both under the intake manifold and on top of it near the injectors.
I checked the connections to the evaporator, and looked at the hoses that run over the intake manifold as best I could without removing the manifold. All looks okay. The only thing I can think of it being is the head gasket leaking. However, a compression test revealed all the cylinders were between 205-220, and all the plugs looked okay. No white smoke and no milky oil, So I'm not sure. I'm thinking I'll have to put some dye in and pull the intake manifold to get a better look...
Any ideas?
Thanks! :cheers:
