[s-cars] Coolant Leak

[calvinlc at earthlink.net]

If it is close to the engine and around the midpoint or further back I would
say most likely culprit is the plastic housing on the front of the after-run
pump seeping.  You'll have to run your fingers underneath it to try and feel
any moisture.  If it is further away from the engine then coolant tank
becomes a possibility.

Mark:

Check the following;

- after run coolant pump
- the turbo return line under the intake manifold (very hard to see, its
about
12 mm in dia and about 180 mm long)
- the t-stat housing - its plastic and can crack/deform
