'87 Turbo puking water. Help find where!

kwnate: sorry, can't get a camera back there. Right up against the firewall, and a heater hose blocks it.

If you follow the top of the left hand "hump" of the cam cover towards the rear of the car, at the end of the hump just past where you can see, right up against the firewall. Maybe a manifold pipe of some kind, I don't know. It looked like something shiny and metallic. I was wondering if anyone knew what was on that side of the head from pulling it off. I guess I will just have to pull the cam cover to find out.

Is it the hose coming from the center of the two cam covers at the very back or behind the exhaust manifold?

It appears that its on the very rear of the cam covers. Not sure what's supposed to be back there, i've never had the head off. Definitely nowhere near the exhaust manifold.

I've removed the accordian intake pipe, and the turbo heat shield trying to find the leak. It's definitely nowhere you can actually get to in the engine.

kwnate: Is the hose you are speaking of connected to the cam covers, or the head itself?

** 'Doh! Just thought about that question a minute. Cam cover wouldn't have any water running through it, that would be the head itself...
