Well I drive to the post office this morning to attempt to get my shoes, but what do you know they aren't open on any of the weekends.

When I stop no problems, kill the engine and woof I see smoke (in reality it was steam). So in my head I'm cursing like a mofo. I pop the hood and let it escape and I look around on the driver side bank of the engine and I see coolant. So instantly I'm like damn my HG just blew. But me not running over 5 PSI most of the time it couldn't be. So I took a closer look and it was dripping off of the valve cover. I traced the drip as well as I could and I believe my throttle body once the engine is shut off the coolant inside starts boiling. So I drove back home (babied it) stopped turned off the engine and pop the hood. Well then it doesn't happen.

Fluke?

Leaky Hose?

You tell me your best guess.

are you sure it was coolant?
...leaky valve covers?

Yep coolant because it had a green tint and sizzled when it hit the manifold.

I found a hose with a bit of brown discoleration on the part where it attaches to the fitting. I tightened it and we'll see how it goes.


Yes it went through but unfortuneatly it took away 69 cents because it was from a debit or credit card

Well I cranked it up for about 5 minutes this morning and took a quick drive and it did it again. I think I might be ripping the driver side of the engine apart soon

I plan to fix it right... At stock specs. So looks like I'll be getting another hose.
