Default Name that coolant leak...
So after replacing my leaky coolant flange, I'm leaking less coolant, probably a plus... however I crawled back under and found another leaky spot. Any clue what part it is that's leaking and how to go about fixing? It's on the passenger's side, I provided a zoomed out shot showing the diverter valve for reference... but the views are from underneath. Any advice/answers are appreciated, thanks guys.

Default yo! isn't that a little... too far forward to be the wp?
wouldn't there by coolant coming off the block, and not the lock carrier?

If your wife was as hot as his, you'd be too busy for AW, too.

Default well the block is as dry as a bone. there's a semi-steady drip coming off that rubber thing..
I'm re-downloading ETKA as we speak so I can take a look at what's in there.
