Hi Guys,
I've been through a few repairs on my commy in the last 6 months. Had a rear engine coolant leak ended up replacing the inlet manifold gasket and many other parts, hoses and brass fittings along with it. It's only been giving me a headache. The last few months it's been making a pretty loud bubbling sound (sounds like it's behind my stereo) when accelerating and has been chewing through coolant. I used rislones radiator stop leak and it did stop for a short amount of time. It's been rough idling, burning through petrol and constant headache filling it up with coolant. Recently bout a week ago jumped in the car to go to the shops and there was a puddle of coolant at drivers side feet. I've been told that could be my heater core or tap. Just wanted to ask here as I have got some great advice here before. If that is definitely the problem and what would the best way to go about fixing it? And is there any other issues it could be? Thanks heaps in advance.
Cheers, Jared
