Coolant Issue

(1/3) > >>

Imber:
My 1991 XR2 pours out coolant somewhere at the back of the engine(towards the firewall) as soon as i put it in the radiator, any ideas?

EShepherd:
As in, you pour it in, and it dumps right back out, without the engine even running?

Take a look at the hoses back there. If they look okay, look at the freeze plugs on the engine block. Over time they can get corroded and start to leak. It's an easy enough fix, provided you can get enough access to it to hammer in a new one. If you have any pictures or videos of the leak, I could probably be more help.

There is a small water hose that goes from the block right below the head to the IAC. easily missed. There are also freeze plugs that are rubber and you tighten a bolt the make them seal that don't required being driven in.
