Slight Coolant Problem... December 11, 2008, 12:50:55 AM So I recently installed a rebuilt turbo. It has about 120 miles since then and it runs great. I've only been at WOT maybe 4 times, only one at 17psi -- the others at about 12. I noticed the other day that it was running warm, so I replaced the thermostat. However I was worried because my windows were fogging up. The thermostat seemed to help. That was yesterday. Today, it was getting warm again. Then I noticed antifreeze dripping from the heater core into the passenger floorpan. I knew that was a bad sign. I took a right turn into my driveway and my foot got soaked in antifreeze -- it POURED into the floorpan. There is now a puddle in the driver's side of the car. I already ordered a new heater core and am dreading the thought of ripping this dash out which unfortunately I've had the pleasure of doing before. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced this problem before??Thanks in advance. Quote Selected
