[s-cars] coolant leak

[chris chambers]

Paul,
 
yes you will haev to remove the water manifold, only use the oem part as others fail quickly.
The hose is bought in bulk, I believe Marc Swanson ala efiexpress.com has it in stock.

>I have recently discovered I had a a slow coolant leak and today I was able to locate it but I'm not sure just how to fix it.  The patient is a 95 S6 and the leak under the water manifold where there is a hardline connecting to a hose with a clamp on it.  I've traced the hardline directly to the turbo and could see moisture accumulate against the block just under the hose clamp (and after 10 minutes of watching I finally witnessed a drop from the hose clamp).  When I say slow leak, I mean about 1-cup a week so it took me a couple weeks to finally locate this (that and it was always raining to it made it tough to see moisture where it doesn't belong).
