SOURCE: water leak on fwd passenger side after every rain storm

If your car has a sunroof, there are drains from the front corners of the sunroof, and they drain down the sides of the windshield pillars, and then empty out on the ground.

What I would do is open the surnroof, and pour water into the front corners, and then oobserve where the water drains out. If you have a difference in water drainage between the left and the right sides, I would think that you may have loose sunroof drain. They commonly come loose at the sunroof corners. This will allow the water to pass down the windshield pillar, and onto the floor.

Also, I would check the condensate drain tube for blockage. Pull back the carpet, under the glove box, and fins a black hose that pokes thru the firewall. Pull it out, and see if it is blocked internally. If this tube is clogged, water will build up in the heater box, as the black tube is the drain for the heater box.

One of the two above solutions will cure your problem. I see both quite often.

Thanks for choosing FixYa for assistance.

It is definately your AC water outlet. The hose must have shifted sort of.

SOURCE: coolant leaking

Hello Kasalama :

Is it possible to wash off the engine while protecting the distribuutor and other electronics so we can start with a clean and dry engine ? . * Make sure that your radiator is full and that the Radiator/ Coolant overflow reservoir is at the proper level . * I would put a large piece of cardboard on the floor and along with a bright flash light or shop light use it to guide you where the leak s coming from .

If that is not helpful , I would perform a pressure check on the cooling system . The pressure check can be performed as a diagnostic tool . Put the truck in park and apply the parking brake . Attach the pressure diapham and Start the engine . You will have to manually pump it to a specified pressure as indicated on the gauge/ manometer .

The pressure diaphram usally attaches where the " radiator cap " is . Applying pressure can show leaking hoses, pipes and leaks in the radiator or fittings .

Be mindful that you can also have a leaking Intake manifold Gasket .

I hope that this info has been of help to you .

SOURCE: water leak under the intake manifold,1995 toyota 4 runner

There is a heater core bypass pipe that runs from the block (under the manifold) to the bacl of theengine where you will see a flat rectangular "sheet metal" thing with a pipe coming out of it. The a rubber hose connects. You need to pull the top air plenums and intake to get to it. The p[ipe flange bolts to the block with silicone rtv as a sealant.

My 02 Camaro 3.8 has coolant in oil and white smoke could it be a water pump?.oil pump or is it only a head gasket issue?

Probably a bad head gasket. Get a cooling system pressure pump and pit pressure on the cooling system. Remove the spark plugs and after a little bit crank the engine over and see if any of the cylinders have water in them. The water/coolant will squirt out of the plug holes. Also you can take off the radiator cap and put a rubber glove over the inlet and run the engine. if the head gasket is bad, then it will pump exhaust out of the radiator. There is also a test that can be done with a chemical that can detect exhaust gas in the coolant.

Engine is leaking out coolant running down side of block right by water pump intake

Sorry but I need you to write back with much more details. What are you working on today (yr, make, model and engine size)? If the coolant is running out the side of the engine and the water pump is on that same side. You should be referring to a transaxle style engine. Depending on the make and model you could be talking about a waterpump, lower intake gasket, head gasket, freeze plug, coolant hose, clamp or related fitting.

Engin overheats , but it doesn't leak so why have to keep filling up with water and seen steam comin from like underneath the thermostat

Check your exhaust pipe when running. Do you see a lot of white smoke? If so, you most likely have a blown head gasket and are losing the water into the cylinders. This will cause overheating with no apparent leaking. If there is no white smoke, then you could be losing water from the "weep hole" under the water pump. This water often hits the engine block and evaporates (causing steam). Once you turn off the engine, the leaking often stops. Look carefully at the underside of the water pump for a small hole where the pulley shaft enters the pump. If you see traces of coolant (or signs that coolant ran down from the hole), you need to replace your water pump.

I have a 92 grand marquis. Its been sitting for a while due to bad transmission. I had a crown vic tranny put in with a little over 60,000 mules on it. Anyway i discovered no antifreeze in the reservoir so...

More than likely the intake manifold. It has a crossover tube for coolant in the front of the engine, rite behind alternator. Very common to crank there and water would come out front andrear of eengine area because it flows into empty valley in center of motor and leaks to the rear onto tranny housing and onto exhaust. Causing steam, white smoke. but this is just a guess, could also have a blown or leaking head gasket, hose pretty much anything can have deteriorated in that time.I suggest no running it, until a mechanic can come look at it with a coolant pressure tester.

Coolant leak behind motor

No, on the freeze plug. A freeze plug leak would immediately start leaking as you were pouring coolant into the radiator. And would be leaking constantly, whether engine was running or not. More likely a head gasket, or if there is a coolant passage into your intake it might be an intake manifold gasket.

2oo2 blazer overheating. blowing much steam out the top of engine . pouring water out of the bottom .

Well, i would have to say all of the above is a direct result of the water pouring out of the bottom. your coolant system must be full to function correctly, by the cylinders heating the coolant to keep them cool, and then the coolant is cooled back down in the radiator. you can damage the cylinders and more if you run it like that. look for exactly where the water comes out when you pour it in (try to contain any coolant. water alone would be fine to let run on the ground) my hunch is that you probably had a freeze plug come loose from the block, or blew a heater or radiator line. a freeze plug is the little 2" metal circle plate (or even block heater) pressed into the side of the engine under the exhaust on both sides. another possibility could be the water pump. this would be coming from the front side of the engine. there are also many other leak sources, but these are the most common. check the oil. if it is creamy, then there is coolant going into the engine. a freeze plug is an easy fix, as they sell rubber expansion plugs to plug the hole. you sinply stick it in and tighten the nut/screw as per directions and done. a blown hose is relatively simple to fix, but can also be complicated, depending where. most of the heater connections have o-ring and plastic clips that tend to be difficult at times to dis-assemble. a water pump would be expected to fail anywhere between 100k-150k miles typically, and is a cheap repair (i would expect 2-300 in my area)

What are signs of of bad intake gauset on a 99 chevy blazer

depends on whether its leaking coolant or air, since both run through intake. if leaking coolant, you will see coolant leaking from either the front or rear of the intake itself. it can also leak into the engine, causing coolant to mix with the oil. if its leaking air, usually a small leak will present more when the engine is cold, with rough running or high idle. a large leak will run rough all the time, but should be able to hear air hissing if large enough. a vacuum leak from the intake will sometimes present as a check engine light, with codes p0171 and/or p0172, depending on whether the leak is on one side or both.

Im having a problem with my 2003 Chevy Malibu leaking coolant. What do I do? What do I check? I have no idea where its coming from. I can drive and when I park the car it starts to pour out coolant. I took...

actually it is not good idea to replace your coolant by water only you shoul full your coolant system 50/50 mixture coolant and water because coolant has uniqe smell and color so easier to identified leaks.
first check your oil condition and coolant reservior for any coolont oil mixture for figure out head gaskets condition if you have any oil coolant mixture in oil or coolant you have a blown head gaskets this will send you to mechanic if everthing looks clear then go front driver side bottom of radiator and open the drain **** (make sure car is cool and put container under because coolant is toxic and mess up your drive way )open reservior tab too and drain all the water close back drain **** probably your vehicle prefer dexcool(red color)
fill 3 qt dexcool then water or just buy ready mix run the engine with reservior tab open and check coolont level add more if necesery suquize collont hoses for air inside when engine start hit up close reservior tab. on passanger side front of the engine has a coolant drain plug open with number 8 wrench untill you see the coolant come out( bleed the system for air) make this several times turn on your heat too and bleed again and watch your upper and lover hoses for any visible leaks fallow small coolant lines like under throttle body check thermostat housing under throttle body on 3.4l engines check under radiator if your pressure cab dosen't look good get a new pressure cab .shut of the car and check for leaks once you find out where is leak from easy to fix it.
