Coolant leaking, need help
There's coolant residue towards the front of the car, under the carbon strut brace. Anybody with similar experience can tell me where it's leaking from?
I had to top up coolant for the smaller intercooler reservoir. So I removed the charge pipes and the intercooler to inspect any internal leaks. No coolant inside, but some dried up oil on one of the charge pipes. Am I looking at the wrong place for leaks? I was going to upgrade to the Mishimoto Intercooler but for now I'll just upgrade the charge pipes. Anyone? |

If you’re losing coolant in the intercooler reservoir then your intercooler is leaking (you’ll see coolant pooling in the J pipe, not the charge pipes)!
