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!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
