Some similar searches came up but nothing like what I have. Mods are on my page.

Each time I drive my car a little hard, stopping at 15psi on my s16g, my car will leak a good 3/4 liter of coolant after shutting the car off. I always take it easy on the car 1 mile before I shut it off so the car can cool down and of course I let it idle for a minute before cutting off ignition. The leak looks like it's coming from behind the transmission right above the cross member. I'd take a picture but the car is too low and I don't have a jack on me at the moment.

I checked all the hoses and only find one really bad hose that connects to the valve under the throttle body. Replaced it but it continues to dump a liter of coolant after I drive the car.

Any ideas? I'm lost. THANKS!
 
Check the throttle for any cracks in that area. Do you still have the egr valve in place and using it? If not then you might be able to delete the coolant lines running to that area. That may solve your problem. Good luck!
 
Random thought, did you check your heater core hoses going to the fire wall? I had a leak in the one leading into it and the return at the same time _-_
 
No you should not hear bubbles.

Do another BLT and watch the coolant over flow bottle for bubbles.
