Puddle Of Coolant on Bellhousing?

[rico05]

Well there is a small puddle of coolant on the top of the bellhousing. After a hard drive about a tablespoons worth on the bellhousing. Any idea where it is from? I fear that my HG may be gone. But my coolant is clean, oil is clean, and the water is like it dripped there as there is no spray all over the place. I free reved the motor and watched and saw nothing dripping from anywhere. Any ideas?

check the hose around the large of the two metal pipes running behind the head, it's the coolant return from the turbo. it might be leaking from that somewhere, and it might only be when very hot.

Yep. Its wet. Dammit. I love all of this maintenance BS.

EVERYONE: Replace all hoses on the motor before you put it in the car! I replaced all the vac lines, but neglected the coolant lines, and now I am paying for it with busted nuckles...

look on the bright side, at least its the RETURN line..

LOL, thats the truth! But yes, to everyone, if it's rubber, don't use it twice. Kinda like condoms...
