87TurboProject · 03-09-2006, 11:58 PM

I appreciate all you guys' help!

I am getting the new hose prob tommorow after work(today is my B-day so I'm half in the bag as I write this, I think you guys are right about it noyt being my hg though as tonight I ran the car further than ever to see if it would start to overheat or run low on coolant ect and nothing out of the ordinary and she performed great as always! after I sober up I'm goin to find that damn leak though it is irritating as hell I looked at the freeze plugs today but no sign of a leak from them either it is really confusing me as I don't have any Idea of what could be leaking on that side if not for one of those?!?!?!?!?!?

Well I'm going to go and drink some more and see if I can see three of everything instead of the two I'm seeing now !

Pink elephant piss on the block!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........lol Like I said before, pressure test it and get under the car to look at that side to find the leak and get a good light! I think there is a kit that lets you add stuff to the coolant and using a black light will let you easily see where the leaks are.

location vermont.... is your car rhd or lhd?

87TurboProject · 03-13-2006, 08:07 PM

it's a normal lhd(if standing at the back looking at it)

tried from underneath but can't really see right there because of my lower a arms ect being in my way so I'm going to have to find a pressure tester or something I think.
I just lost the heat in it all of a sudden today(It blows but no hot air at all)
I got a new thermostat and will try that and see if it helps and then try to get the money for a pressure tester and see what I can find with that.
Thanx again for everyone's help this is my baby but I don't have the cash to do what she deserves and put her in the shop but all the help is a life saver.

reason i asked is because depending on which you are then determines where water hoses and pipes are located in your engine

i would probly check the one under #1 intake runner
check the hoses going from the throttle body.... use your hand and follow them
do they have stains on them from leaks
are they currently leaking

Well again with the pressure tester, they are kind of expensive and if a close auto parts store has a tool loaner deal, try that first. Try all of them close to you and just make sure they have the adapter that fits the smaller cap on our supra's. I think these testers are close to $150.00 and you don't get to use it that many times.

Just an idea anyway.

Thanx Suprra Girl I replaced one of the lines when I did the gaskets but the other looked and felt fine so I left it I cannot feel anything on it but I can't really reach it well either so I am going to put it on jack stands and try to get at it again tommorow as I don't have school after work then and can get some daylight hopefully.

I'm going to keep trying to find it without the tester for now as no parts place around here that I know of rents tools.
Thanx again for the help both of you!
