Re: two things (240sxbobbis)
the coolant in the TB is for colder temps... i guess it help balance the intake air temp. im pretty sure anyway.
and i thought my head was leaking a lil bit... check your valve covers, they make the head area look wet and like its leaking! changed the valve cover gaskets and shes clean now.

Pretty sure the (hot) coolant lines run there so the throttle body doesn't freeze shut when it's cold due to moisture in the air. Or something like that. Anyway, it's stupid and you can block it off.
