92 legacy L. The spark plug hole, passenger front, is sporadically filling up with coolant. Cannot find an external leak that would drip in there. No visible oil in coolant or coolant in oil, no white smoke. 200k on car. Intake gasket?
Check the upper radiator hose, its probably leaking straight down from the bottom and filling the hole.
There's an oring under the coolant cross over pipe on top of the block that is right on top of cyl 1. That could potentially be leaking. I probably have one of those in my stash if you need it. Like I said before I would be happy to help you out. You can swing by sometime and I can look at it for you.
^^^I did not know this. thank you! the car is a buddys. I am not picturing the coolant crossover pipe???
It's the tube on top of the block that your upper rad hose attaches to. Remove the intake manifold and remove the 4 bolts that hold it on
Tim, I am going to be tackling this thursday night for a buddy. I'll gladly take the O ring. Also, will I need to replace the intake gasket as well at this time? thanks
Yeah. Do the intake manifold gaskets too so you don't get any leaks. I am on my way back from Florida now. I will check to see if i have those o-rings when I get home tonight!
I just verified that I do, in fact have those 2 orings. I pulled them out for you. Get a hold of me and let me know when you could swing by.
