So i had a friend do a six bolt swap into my 96 spyder gst and now i'm leaking antifreeze from between the motor and tranny (see pic). I can't see anything leaking from the top of the motor. I had the coolant system pressure tested and it no leaks were found. Any ideas of what could be the problem? I'm not much of a mechanic but is the flywheel supposed to be exposed like that too? Just wondering

The flywheel is supposed to have a thin metals shield bolted up to the tranny. If you SAY you dobt have and external leaks, for example, thermostat housing, turbo coolant lines, water pump, water pump pipe(big one begine the pipe, make sure the rubber o-rings arent leaking), etc then I would seriously ponder the idea that you may have a cracked block or something, unlikely but possible. I would check ALL rubber hoses and clamps as well. Leaks can be snealy. Id wash off the engine bay and undercarriage, then run the car at idle and see if you can see the leaks more clearly. Good luck.
