have you looked under the oil filler cap? check to see if there's any mayo type looking sttuf, which could indicate a blown head/head gasket etc. also check the hoses around the sprayed area for crack etc.

but as para said, give it a clean and see if it comes back.'

steve

p.s refer to the cum stains thread for cleaning

Hmm blown head, dont like the sound of that!!!

I havent cleaned it yet, its off the road until the new turbo goes on because it needs tuning and i cant afford to tune before AND after the turbo goes on :dry:

well, check the oil cap anyways. and the radiator cap etc.

Yeh they are fine... might have to look further when i get it tuned

I really really hope head is fine, i was going to put metal head gasket in,

but thought i'd do that later when i rebuild it all.

thanks mate

check the coolant lines that run through the throttle body, looks like one of them could be the culprit.

Cheers

Ill post another pic, where i think it could be coming from (just based on the directionality of the spray)

Its slightly greeny so i was thinking coolant

Anyway here is the pic

I'm guessing its the air pressure release bolt (not sure about the formal name) for the cooling system. Not sure where it is on the RB25s but on the RB20 it is near there and I didn't tighten mine up properly when I flushed out the system and when it got hot you could see small drops of coolant leak out.

Check that along with the coolant lines running through the throttle body as someone else suggested.

ah thats a better pic. on the other pic it looked like mayo etc. forget the blown head gasket theory.

that looks like dried coolant, so yeah, defently check those spots with the arrows.

steve

    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.   
    • Haha I just finished the last season of TPB: Jail last month. I'm happy they're still pumping out episodes.
