please tell me all of the reasons why my coolant is leaking out, thanks guys.

 

could be a hose or anything, any specific area where you noticed the leak ?

 

your radiator cap is missing

 

hehe. ok no. i was in town and in best buys parking lot i was having too much fun and i floored it, it downshifted and picked up, i didnt stay on it for very long bc my friend was in front of me. after that i was driving down the road normally and the add coolant light came on with that annoying buzzer. i then went to the gas station and put water in. it looked like it was coming from somewhere around the spark plugs. it wasnt leaking too bad, it didnt take much water. i filled it up and drove 20 miles home with no probs, except it smells like coolant. i dont know if that is from the spill that happened when filling.

 

That coolant hose next to the oil filter probably went to ****. did you check it?

 

not yet the lighting sucked too bad. thats a lot better than my first fear, and im sure you all know what that was. wheres that hose at??

 

Next to the oil filter, comes out of the firewall makes a bend or two and goes onto a fitting in the rear plate. The hose seems to deteriorate due to oil saturation, I cant say its your prob. for sure but it cant hurt to check it.

 

ill check that out. i do always make it a point to get them to clean that oil off when they do the changes bc i knew that could happen

 

Shane if it is that hose be careful when removing it. Use a razor balde to cut ti from the fitting on the fire wall because if you crush that fitting then you'll need a new heater core(very exspensive). Also check your coolant drain plug on the lower driverside of the intermediat housing. It may be loose from vibration and causing your motor to lose fluid.

 

ok ill check that. thanks a lot guys for all of the help.
