Check the small hoses from the Throttlebody to the inlet manifold. They are on the rear of the EGR spacer and go to the back of the Inlet Manifold. Mine leaked from the day i brought it, but a maniflold conversion gave me an excuse to delete these hoses. They are fro extrelemy cold weather and prevent the TB from freezing.

Check heater hoses etc.. I can't think of any coolant lines above ?? Maybe from front assembly ??? It could be frost / welsh plugs on your block have rusted through?? They are above filter...Do them asap or they'll go bad in the most embarrassing time!! Trust me...

Its far easier to replace them when on a hoist...The X member may have to be lowered??? With a bar across engine bay to hold engine in place..Engine mounts will have to be undone...

cheers for that, after having a good look at it last night, it appears to be coming from behind the power steering pump or around that area. its definitely not from the back of the engine from what i can see. I plan to take the power steering pump off to get a look behind it and looking in the manual i have, i may be able to just move the pump to the side without having to drain the power steering fluid etc. is that right?
