Moving this to 240 Tech. And give people more than 2 and a half hours to respond. Especially on a weekend.

Probably leaking from the sensor block attachment on the head. It's above the throttle body and has a hose coming out the backside of it. More than likely, the hose back there has rotted out from being old. You'll probably have better look looking at the coolant diagram than the vac diagram ;)

I would suggest performing a leak down test, this will help locate the problem. If you hear air leaking out the intake, its your intake valves, if its coming out your exhaust, its your exhaust valves, dip stick tube then its your rings, etc.

If you need me to elaborate on the step by step process on how to go about performing a leak down test, I will be more than happy to oblige.

looks like your gasket on your intake manifold is cracked or nonexistent i think you are goin to have to take the manifold out and replace the gasket

Leak down test? Intake manifold gasket?

:wtf2:

Guys, he is not talking about a compression problem or intake air leak, this is coolant dripping from the intake manifold area.

This is going to be a hose / clamp or a leaking sensor under the intake runners.

I agree with Hijacker and blkvrtswp. Check out the engine lubrication and cooling systems or LC section of the FSM there is a diagram on LC-6 in the 1995 FSM that shows the coolant passages. it could be the smaller of the two coolant connections on the intake manifold. Its a b*tch to get in there so you might as well plan on spending some time taking the manifold off or better yet replace the manifold with an aftermarket one. It makes life alot easier when you gotta mess around in there.
