Hello guys I am trying to figure this out and am looking for a picture to confirm what I need to get to fix my leak
Leaking coolant from the heater pipe. Its spewing out from the fitting that is screwed into the intake manifold. I recently replaced my lower intake manifold, its an Edelbrock Performer. (The old one was warped and simply would not seal to my heads)
Leak started up about two weeks after the engine was assembled, I put it back together exactly as it was but it may not have been correct in the first place.
Like I said, it leaks from the fitting at the lower intake. Its as snug as I can get it but i can move the tube up and down. What I am trying to figure out is if there is supposed to be another fitting screwed into the manifold in between the line and the manifold. It would make sense, being that it's a flared line and fitting similar to a brake line. If that's the case, then a replacement tube will do the same thing.
If anyone has any pictures or information I would really appreciate it!
