[240love]

does water/coolant run trough the transmission too...i got a lot and i mean alot of water/coolant coming out where the transmission and motor meet(pic below with red arrow)...o and another question while im at it. My radiator sometimes has brown ****, like chocalte..is the car loosing water why it does that?

If somethings leaking, it is naturally gonna get spewed all over the transmission and underside of the car. I would clean it up as best you can and let it dry and run the car in a garage to see where the fluid is coming from. Could just be a cracked heater hose but don't push the car till you find out.

blown`headgasket sounds like...that would suck

check your oil, is it that same chocalate milk color?

yea someone else told me it might be a headgasket and yeah that would suck...i just got this ***** running..lol and ill check the heater hoses..

check the turbo coolant line right behind the head and against the firewall, its hard to see so move the harness out of the way. Mine blew on me at the track.. I thought it was my HG as well, turns out was dry rooted. its a ***** to fix tho, finger cramps ftl...

Hey lets not jump to conclusions yet... First things first get yourself some carb cleaner and clean everything up. Now run the car and look for the leak. Most likely it will be the water line behind the head like shocker said. Also if you have access a water pressure tester will help pressurize the system without having to run the car, you can also see how bad its leaking

+1 for the water pressure tester.

Pressurize the system. Places to check would be:

Heater hosesTurbo (water) feed and returnBack of head to blockFreeze plugs

And of course everything else, but you might find your problem up there.

Good luck let us know

that's a leak trickle down. trace for leak in the back of the motor and see where the source is and fix it.

the brown stuff in the radiator sounds like oil is getting in there. so what it sounds like is your losing coolant and getting oil in your radiator, so most likely it's leaking somewhere where oil can get into the coolant. thats why it sounds like headgasket. good luck, you can probably rent a coolant pressurizer from advance or something

Drain you oil pan. Check if it has coolant mixed. Also drain your coolant (seperately) and check if theres oil. Both will lead to a problem with your headgasket (unless you threw a rod or something).
