Rb25 Coolant Leak Problem

[Rucker_]

Hey guys, needing some advice on a leak i've got at the moment on my 32.

I noticed it yesterday when i saw coolant running along my driveway, its not leaking alot but enough. Fairly sure its only leaking while the engine is on.

It is coming from the back of the engine bay somewhere behind the motor, and running down onto the passenger side of my gearbox.

I have pulled off the two heater hoses behind the engine to check them properly and replaced clamps even though they were all fine.

Now im stuck, its obviously got to be something lower than those hoses, is there any more hoses etc underneath those i should look for as its nearly impossible to get down there.

Any help would be great,

Cheers

Steve

could be the turbo water hose, under neath the intake there is a 'L' bend near the stater motor! it happemed to me on my rb25det it was a pin hole and it would squirt up on top of the gear box and run down the passanger side

hey mate, i had a problem with a coolent hose leaking bihind the motor.. (i have an Rb25 in my R32 aswell) you could just see it squirting outta a pin hole!. i could not reach iit by hand at all..

how i fixed it was.. taking starter motor off! pretty easy 2 or 3 bolts, then with one hand sliced the busted hose off. then bought some new Heavy duty hose from gibs trucks and 2 new hose clams. and with only one harm fitted it all up! took some time.. but was easyer then taking off the inlet manifold!

hope this helps!

Yeah i had the same thing, fixed it when i had the box out changing the clutch. Looked like something that would cause much swearing trying to change with the box in, that's in a 33 though.
