[DML] Re: Coolant Leak Problem HELP ME!

[tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Mr. T - Your best course of action is to remove the intake manifold 
so that you can change all of the hoses under there.  The removal of 
the intake is not really that bad, especially if you leave the fuel 
injection system intact (simply moved up and out of the way), and 
remove only the manifold itself.  If you can remove the fascia, the 
intake is really a walk in the park.  While you have the intake off, 
this is a great time to do a proper tune-up by replacing the cap, 
rotor, and wires.  A good flush of the clutch hydraulic system is 
also facilitated by removing the intake.  Take your time in this, and 
do it right, and you won't have to be in there for a long time.
