[s-cars] Coolant Leak

[Peter Golledge]

I've got the same.. only a small amount of loss when cold.  Traced back
(using dye) under the front of the intake manifold, already replaced the
coolant hose under there with silicone but it seems from other posts that
the OE hose is the way to go... I'm going to pull my intake to see if I can
locate the exact source.
