Coolant Leak

Post by Masterjjb »

So im looking at this mr2 turbo however the person selling it has told me that when the car is very hot the turbo has been known to leak coolant. Is this bad? or an easy fix.

It's more likely to be the hose from hell and/or hose from hell on earth if it's that general area. They are the main weak spot in the coolant system but also very difficult to get at without removing various bits and pieces. The parts themselves are cheap and I believe you can bodge it by running new ones under the fuel tank but it's a long job either way.
