PHATR32 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) 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 Edited June 12, 2006 by PHATR32 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/121896-wtf-is-this/#findComment-2248220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/121896-wtf-is-this/#findComment-2248356 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 check the coolant lines that run through the throttle body, looks like one of them could be the culprit. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/121896-wtf-is-this/#findComment-2248485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/121896-wtf-is-this/#findComment-2248510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToF Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 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.
