[s-cars] Video Troubleshooting-coolant leak

[Manuel Sanchez]

Bill,

Just above that leak is the bleeder valve for the cooling system,  
that plastic flathead screw thing with what looks like white gunk in  
your video. It was hard to tell but as I know you well know the gunk  
on the bleeder could be seeping coolant. I remember checking mine  
once and the bleeder screw was surprising loose, maybe you need to  
just tighten.

Having said that I did replace all the rubber and plastic bits up  
there as others have and had recommended, especially if you don't  
know their age.

Good Luck,

-Manny

Folk's
Long story, short; I have a coolant leak under the plenum as shown here?

With luck it would just be a fubar'd hose clamp.
I cant really tell yet if its a hose or a tube under there..  ran out of
daylight.
Any BTDT's ?  Hopefully it's a replaceable hose or tube and not part  
of the
heater core.
FWLIW this leak only showed up in the engine bay at the base of the
passenger side firewall, apparently after it drains down from drivers  
side.
Could only tell from the coolant soaked crap in there.
TIA!
