coolant leak back of block

spooln4fun · 06-03-2007, 07:04 PM

I just had my headgasket replaced about a week ago, now today car my car started heating up, I got out to look hoping just a hose blew, but it is leaking from the back side around the throttle body, and transmission side of the block. Any ideas on what to check, could the block be cracked up there? or are there hoses that run back there?

I bet one of your heater hoses has a hole and it's just dripping on everything on the back side of the motor...

i had this happen last year on my way to MOD and one of the techs at MOD checked it out and pointed out the heater hose right away so my best bet is its the same problem because my leak was around that area as well

Appreciate the input, will look at that first and hope its that!

Well that was the problem so I went ahead and replaced both of them just for good measure. It still is running hot, but low on coolant for now because of the leak.

I figured thats what it would be. Don't forget to give rep points...
