Guys,

I just sprung a nice leak...

I noticed that all the paint on my heatsheilds is coming off because of the nice oil leak I have from the cps (thats getting fixed under the headgasket warranty) but now I have antifreeze dripping from up under there somewhere...

I have a new water pump installed in January...

Thats what I am wondering... When parked Im losing coolant... I am going to pull loose the power steering and peek under there... It better not be the gasket... It just better not be...

As an added bonus my rear is leaking.... siiiiigh... My new exhaust has crap all over it...

Ive got one there too. I have no idea where its from.

After I drive the car, if I look at the exhaust mani. bolt to the left of the cps, there is coolant on the heat sheild right below it. I think it may be the upper turbo-bypass hose (straight one) but I did more examining and idt that is it. Also I replaced the lower one, so that isnt it either. With that being said, I dont know whats going on.

VDragon, did you check the 90* coolant hose to the right of the manifold, under the water outlet housing?

Yup I am having it replaced monday as the dealer is in the spotlight for this... Im actually thinking its clamp back there.

I need to figure out what size t-bolts I need for my upper lines and replace all the intercooler clamps as they seem loose. Im going to replace these clamps too...

Ill let you know what it turns out to be as the cps seems to have eaten my exhaust pait right off the manifold shields... (Im thinking this paint sucks)

Nobody said anything about the oil leak.
Chances are it's the o-ring on the CPS. There's a chance that it could be the actual shaft seal inside the unit itself, but that'd only be the culprit if there's oil leaking out from behind the CPS cover.

I had about thesame thing and the problem was the tiny little 90 degrees hose which connects the waterpump to the tubes from the heater.

It's only about 10 to 15 cm in size but can leak like hell.

Yep, me too.

Gotta move p/s fluid holder. Too lazy to find out how to spell "resivour".
