Hi. Not too long ago, I made a post about intake gaskets. I got some great responses, thankyou everyone.
At the time, it didn't seem to be leaking too bad. Tonight, I noticed some coolant on the ground. I crawled under there to take a look, and it's wet under the car. It looks like it is dripping on the oil cooler lines (which I replaced a few weeks ago) right on the clamp in the middle of the hose part that bolts to the block. Also, it is all over the center link. Looking around with a flashlight I can see where the intake gasket leaks at the front driver's side, just above the water pump. I can't tell if it is leaking bad enough to make the mess thatI have. It's really hard for me to tell, it was dark out, and almost 10:30 pm when I was out there, and I couldn't see that well.
This has me thinking (more like obsessing), could I have damaged anything while I was replacing the oil lines? When I jacked up the engine? Are there any coolant lines that run along the driver's side of the engine? I can't really see that well.
I don't think I should drive it until it's fixed.
Thanks for reading this.
