[josedll]

well i go to school and i finally got the chance to come back home to fix my car(blow turbo).
the installation was good and fast. the problem happen when i started putting coolant on. i heard i small leak thinking i had forgotten to connect a coolant line i when down to find out that the coolant was coming out off the rear of the engine. not been able to see i squeezed my camera in there and took some pics. can someone let me know if this is fixable or do i need a new block.

So what exactly are you asking?


EDIT* Sorry I didn't realize you still had information to add to the thread before when I posted

We're you leaking coolant before?

 

[josedll]

if the block is useless or can it be resused, because if t is useless. i will have to tow the car to my job(mitsu dealer)

 

[josedll]

well my turbo was leaking coolant as well but when i removed the turbo i drain all the coolant(stupid of me).

If it is coming from the rested area it can be fixed but it will be a temp fix and permenate fix. It has a crack which will cause some over heating here soon. You might can get away with some JB weld but its all up to you.

If it's coming from the rusted area, it appears someone forgot to install a freeze plug.

How long have you had the car? Every time I have ever saw a missing freeze plug like that, it has been due to having straight water in the car and it freezing up. But I also saw that you live in Long Beach so it kind of rules that out unless you bought it like that. If it pushed out from freezing, I would do a compression test to make sure that nothing was cracked from the freezing. If it checks out just put a little bit of jb weld on the new freeze plug and tap it in. Make sure you check the motor for any other leaks when you fill it up.
