SquadCarPathfinder Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Not sure if anyone was having a mysterious coolant leak but I thought I would bring this to attention to anyone else who had it. So a couple months back i was having cooling problems and near overheating problems. I popped the hood to see what was going on but I couldn't find where the leak was from since there was dried coolant residue and no apparent leak. Upon further inspection, me and my father found that there was a crack in the small elbow hose connected to the intake manifold above the thermostat. It was cracked and dried and caused coolant to splash all over the engine bay. we couldn't find anywhere else to acquire a fitting hose other than the dealer. But it you wanted to, you would have to find an elbow that fits onto the fittings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 That hose is the bypass hose. Recommended to change when you do a timing belt service. I have purchased an aftermarket one before. I believe gates makes them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citron Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I bought a generic molded hose from the parts store and cut it to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
