Found the leak - I think!

[six_wheeler]

Hi people,

I think I found the intercooler's leak. It's in the pipe coming out from underneath the aluminum exchanger housing and leading down to the bottom radiator. The leak appears to be right above the intake manifold (coolant puddles up into the recesses.) So I guess i'll have to take it all out and weld it (that is, assuming I'm right.)

If you have a leaky hard line from in the stock ic setup.. just replace it with some heater hose.. most of all sytyers running the stock water 2 air systems useally make the switch from the metal hard lines in favor of heater hose simply because you can then route it away from the engine or hot spots to try to help keep the temps down on the coolent etc..

here's a nice write up on it
