Cooling system "leak" (river)
1990 Greddy Turbo 5-Spd....
If you look at yoour heater hoses where they are coming out of the firewall....the hose on the drier's side is my problem. Where it finally connects into the engine (after it goes through the metal tubing in the attached picture) has popped out somehow...i'm just wondering how the hell this tubing is suppost to stay in the water pump since there are no fittings or anything there to speak of. Any help as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

Oh, wait....that would be me. (After taking the manifold/turbo off about 10 times when working on a larger DP fab.)
To actually add something of value, make sure you get an OEM gasket if you get a new one as I replaced it with one from NAPA in a crunch and it continued to ooze until I replaced it with an OEM gasket.

Gotta take advantage of my dead brain cells when you can.

Plus, everyone need a good ribbing and humbling experience now and again. Such as how to make full power at the dyno...
At least I can laugh about it now that the car is up and running.

You know what's even stupider than him putting it under the manifold? me rushing into "fixing" things and not waiting to hear all the replies and doing the same damn thing.....atleast i only got four of the manifold nuts back on before i realized "oh ****, i'm gonna have one hell of an exhaust leak this way" oh well, i din't have much else to do today, all's good now, thanks again guys.
P.S. fell free to laugh at me, i don't mind, i'm still laughing at myself.

Nope....we just never put it back on, LOL
