The_aSSet Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) Got home yesterday and had a little puddle under the truck, its leaking coolant very slowly from the bottom back corner of the passenger side head. I tried to tighten that bolt and it stopped dripping but apparently started back up this afternoon. Really don't wanna take the head off. Any ideas guys? I might go through the tightening sequence again just for thoroughness. and yes it was torqued with a torque wrench in sequence.

canadianVRss Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I had the same problem with the drivers side head. Turned out that I hadn't tightened the little coolent lines from the throttle body tight enough and the coolent was traveling down the side of the head.

The_aSSet Posted November 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hmm, ill go through all the lines and bolts again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianVRss Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Also, on those little lines there should be a tiny little O-ring inside where it bolts to the head. I know for sure there is on the drivers side. Not too sure about the passenger side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blown 346 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Good, I was going to say if it was the head, the gasket is already crap and you would be doing a a gasket swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_aSSet Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 The crossover tube that is in the front, there's 2 in the back too but without the crossover tube so it just blocks the coolant from coming out those holes back there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianVRss Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Are those the ones that run through the throttle body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
