Leaking coolant

[Kinsaka]

So my poor pathy wasn't taken care of by her last owners. Normal issues aside, I now have a pinhole leak in a metal pipe towards the back of the engine. It looks like it goes to the heater core, but I could be wrong. On several websites it's called pipe assy-heater feed (lookup number on the nissanpartsusa website is 14075n and the actual part number it lists is 1405388G00) should I just order the part myself and replace it? Or should a shop do it? Also can it be bypassed?

This question I think you just answered.

Based upon your small amount of knowledge and that you asked about taking it to a shop ....... you may just wanna take it in and at least get it diagnosed and quoted.

With parts and labor, I'm looking at about $600

sounds like intake manifold has to come off to do the repair ?

It most likely does. There's not much wiggle room in the back.

 

Someone recomended one of those radiator leak pours and I nearly choked on my drink. That stuff would probably gum up something shouldnt be gummed up.
