Coolant Leak

[Dani_Styles]

Hi guys, have looked through numerous threads but unable to find one similar.

I have a s/c V6 with a coolant leak. When looking at the engine, it is at the back and to the right. I cant actually access or see it from under the bonnet, but can see it pouring out from underneath.

Does anyone know what hose/pipe/issue this could be.

Cheers

It's not coming out of the bell housing is it? If it's coming from the top of the engine it is probably the inlet manifold gasket, if it's coming out of the bell housing it will be a corroded plate the rear main is in.
How much coolant is it using and has it been filled with proper coolant or just water?

Not from the bell housing and proper coolant, which is how I could tell there was a leak. Never thought about the inlet manifold gasket, good call as I get steam coming from it also. I had to put 3L of coolant in 2 days ago and as soon as it gets warm it comes straight back out

Check the heater hose connections at the firewall and also check the connections and condition of the heater water valve.

One of the bleeders on them engines are back near there aren't they? Yeah check hose clamps
