so I replaced the Valve cover on my 3SGTE and the car now sounds nice and clean (after having a big oil leak and misfire) and yet I have a huge coolant leak from the back of the engine. (intake side). there was 500ml or more on the ground and bubbly squirty noises from under the throttle body.
So, any idea which hose it might be? I can't drive it to the mechanics and living in Japan I can't tell the mechanic anything... Help me 6gc, you're my only hope... |

I know that under the 5sfe throttle body there are 3 hoses, 2 of them have coolant in them and the third is a vacuum hose. One of those hose clamps probably got knocked loose IF the 3sgte throttle body is the same as the 5sfe.
