What kind of fluid is it leaking? Have you checked all your fluid levels?

Then, pressure test the cooling system so you can determine exactly where it is leaking from.

There are a bunch of heater hoses and bypass hoses under the intake. There are also heater hoses that run to the firewall behind the engine. It could be leaking from any of those places. You need to localize the area to the source. Typing the leak is in the back of the engine is too general of an area for anyone to figure out exactly where your leak is.





Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Look, we are not mind readers, nor can we see your car through our computers so unless you can pinpoint exactly where it is coming from, we can't tell you anything.
