Coolant Leak

[BruhBrahBrad]

I've got a coolant leak somewhere.. I pulled into my garage and came out and there was a pool underneath my car.I dont mean a small pool either, it went all the way back to the back of the car. My garage is flat also. Where are some common places, these damn 2v 4.6s leak at?

Coolant cross over on the manifold, the t-stat housing, and the heater hose connections at fire wall and right rear of the intake manifold.

Alright I will check those when the car cools off.. its funny the gauge didnt even move from where it was, I just stopped moving and then the puddle was noticeable

check the seam of the radiator too passenger side, but that leak is usually pretty slow. with that much coolant under the car it should be obvious where it came from.

The coolant crossover on the intake manifold is notorious for cracking and leaking coolant.
I have also seen the thermostat housing leak coolant before.
Definitley upgrade and get a PI or non-pi intake manifold with the metal coolant crossover.
It's just a matter time before it cracks replace it before it does and you have a coolant mess everywhere.

OK now this is weird...I filled it back up and drove around for a while, no more leak? Could it have been a/c discharge or somethin?

ac shouldnt be causing that much but another place to check is the freeze plugs i had one rust out right after i bought my car relaced it and problem solved.

Was it crystal clear or colored, greasy or watery?

a/c drips a good bit when its cold, but you say you topped it off, so was it low?

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

I cant remember,I think it was pretty clear.

If its all evaporated from the floor its not antifreeze.

 

[duff daddy]

come on son, you dont know your evaporator and accumulator sweats in the hot summer...

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

Lmao!

You might want to also check that it isn't your windshield washer fluid tank. Sometimes those leak out.
