I can see it squirting from between the head and hose I know it's in that area but I cannot actually see where the coolant is coming from directly but it's most likely that 90 degree hose unless it's leaking from the head and I highly doubt that.
What did you do to your supra today? Pics

Check the Union Bolt, both gaskets & the water bypass pipe bolted to the back of the head.

The way it's squirting out it does make more sense that it's the union bolt leaking. So I'd need those 3 pieces to reseal it I'll also get a new bolt I mean might as well. Is it difficult to replace like is it a matter of unscrew the bolt and pull everything out?
I think we need some better pictures to really tell. If it's the union fitting that will be very difficult in car. You may have to remove the head to get to that.
When I have a 7M head off I replace that entire assembly unless it has been recently replaced. The union nut/pipe is pretty cheap, but it's a real bear to access once it's in the car.
See if you can get some shots from the underside a little more.

I tried getting my phone in there but the area started getting hot and I couldn't really get a good shot with the hoses in the way. I'll try again soon I wish I had one of those fiber optic cameras or something.
I got a better look at the leak and it is coming from the hose I can see it squirting before the clamp far from the union bolt and I can see a little bit of coolant wrapping around the hose where the clamp and hose touch and make an indentation. Going to Toyota in the morning if they are open and ordering the hose.
Picked these up for $150
Springs look almost new, these should suit me for the next year or so.
Then I went home and installed my new hood without the vent on it (hated that hood), I think it looks loads better

Compared to my tokico and b&g spring combo, the bilsteins paired with eibachs blow.. bouncy as hell. It's tolerable but I'd rather have my tokicos and b&gs back

I found where it said to set the bilstiens to the highest setting and let the springs worry about lowering the car
Yep. Mine were the lowest setting in the rear and regular in the front. I raised the rear and it's still bouncy.

Went to the dealer to order my replacement coolant hoses and when I came back out a bunch of the sales reps were standing around my MK3. Wish I took a pic of it. Every time I go to the dealer people stare at my car hardcore lol.

Ugh, I'm thinking about trading my almost springs for a set of stockers just to avoid this problem
springs are the only thing that support the weight of the car, I would hope people are not trying to lower their car with strutsyhatzee89;2007484 said:

Well the bilsteins have adjustable height perches. Could get another inch of drop that way, but I've found either it throws the valving off or there isn't enough preload on the spring and it gets a little bouncy. I fucking LOVED my tokico and b&g combo though. Best riding supra I've been in...

I did not know that about the bilsteins, car you raise the car at all? I'm looking to stay off the ground and keep my exhaust from dragging.
