Upper IC leak

[Don W.]

I just posted a WTB for an upper IC. I've got it apart and it is leaking, not fast but a leak none the less. (Water dripped out when I separated it from the TB.) I've found another but my question is has anyone attempted repairs? Stop leak? I doubt either one but thought I'd ask.

Thanks.

My stock leaked and I tried a couple things. Nothing worked. The problem I found was stop leak might have worked if it had just pressure from the water side to the air side, but there is pressure under boost from air to water when under boost. I think it pushes whatever plug it might have made back into the water. Anyways I couldn't get it to work.

I suspected my original upper IC was leaking as well. It seemed to lose coolant and I didn't see any trace of where it was going. I had capped the overflow hose.

Don, pretty certain I have a good one in storage. For you, $50 + the postage to get it there, if you need another one.
