I adjusted my ebrake at the handle by tightening the 2 nuts I found a deep well socket helped a lot it's a bit of a tight fit but pull the lever to a certain height to get it in there.
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...
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.
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 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.
That's what I usually do with most coolant hose replacements I drain most of it. Anyone know the part number for that hose I can't find it in the TSRM.
Welp I found the leak already lol but it's the most or one of the most annoying hoses to replace. It's in the back of the head and I think it's that 90 degree hose but I can't tell for sure. I do have to drain the coolant to replace it right?
I've had to top off my coolant three times now in the past 3-4 days of some hard driving but mostly cruising. I fear my head gasket may be going again. Nothing under the oil cap, I don't have any coolant leaks that I can see, hopefully it's not that stupid 90 degree hose behind the T-stat...
Few pics from the meet tonight very fun time and cruise only 2 MK3s again including myself. Oh and I also took down my friend's TT MK4 SE on a highway run and I hung with another friend's TT Mk4. Pretty proud of my scruffy Mk3.
Welp I spun the wheel, no sound, jacked up the suspension, no sound.... I'll just deal with it until I upgrade my suspension. Gave her a nice wash in preparation for the Houston Supra meet tonight. Pics will be coming later tonight.
On a bad note I think my head gasket may be slowing going...
Luckily mine hasn't had any major wiring issues yet lol well the only major one I had recently was that my positive battery terminal would get corroded enough to break the circuit and my car would just shut off completely when I tried starting it. I cleaned the crap out of both cables and...
