Hi everyone, first time I’ve had to post and ask for help in 12 years, normally I find my answers on the forum, anyway I’ve got a coolant leak at the back of the engine where it meets the gearbox, checked the octopus hose and found the usual culprit at the Norma connector, put a new octopus hose on, (thanks everyone for the sneaky zip tie at the back), still had the same coolant drip, went back in and renewed the plastic three way connector T piece and also had all the small hoses off and checked them, put it all back together….still dripping the same, about every 5 seconds, is there anything else I’m missing???
thanks.

 

Is it definitely leaking at the back?

My first leaky hose was one of the valley pair which had split where it attached to the block at the front of the engine. The coolant ran backwards along the valley and dripped by the bellhousing.

 

The coolant hoses under the intake are called Heater Feed and Return hoses.(not fun)

 

Valley hoses were done a few years ago when I had the supercharger rebuilt, I’m going to take a look at the heater valve which is nicely tucked out the way, I forgot about that one. It doesn’t leak until it’s warmed up, I’m going try turning off the heater and switching back on to see if there’s difference. Thanks for the replies.
