water leak problem! 3.3lx 99
well this car is turning into a daily project! lol, good job I dont mind getting my hands dirty! Got home today and was sat on the drive and noticed steam coming out of the bonnet at the front, so i jumped out quick and opened the hood and a steady squirt of water was shooting at me. it was coming from somewhere behind the block, almost from in the dash, it was to the right hand side as u stand looking at the engine bay. anyone have a diagram of the hoses they could put up or send me, or have any ideas? i've only had the car 4 days i dont have a manual yet! already done an oil change, new drop links, fitted a new electric folding mirror mechanism, brakes, coolant flush.... i hope its nothing too serious im getting tired! lol

if you mean air con? yes i do have air con. does this draw its water from the engine system then? i will try and get a pic after work when its daylight. better go in on the bike today!

No, what I meant by dual AC/Heat is that in that location there are a bunch more heater hoses/lines jumbled up there and it would be harder to identify where the leak is. Yes a picture would be good. Im trying to picture in my head everything swapped around for RHD but I can't lol. The only thing that comes to mind is a bypass hose that runs from intake to back of timing cover..vertical sort of.

Took her out for a run today and im definately still loosing water, i can see it dripping on the floor under the bay after a long run, tho the large hose coming from the radiator is pressurizing. i really believe it is a split hose or loose connection but its impossible to see without removing a ton of parts! once i do find it, how will i know what it is or what its evan for to order a new one?
