1990 240sx: Overheating and Major coolant leak

[psonio7]

I was having overheating problems. Just bought the car and it had gunky coolant. I replaced the pump, tstat, and hoses, thinking it was just a clogged system. Everything in place and the car leaks coolant really rapidly. I drove it a little (not overheat, but a few notches below the H mark. I came back within 3 mins to hear a hiss noise and it spraying water out the passenger side of the engine.

I can't specifically find the problem, but its under the engine. if your are looking up into the engine from underneath the car, its on the passenger side, towards the center, behind the oil filter. I can't exactly locate it, but can I get an idea of what it might be?

thanks!

one of your hoses under your intake manifold most likely.

possibly intake gasket. either way you will prob have to pull the intake for the job. i would get all the hoses and gaskets from the dealer if you have to pull the manifold.
