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!

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
