    Hi folks, this is a follow up on previous thread:http://www.grandprixforums.net/lim-m...ain-38613.html


    In short, I spotted coolant seepage around LIM at passenger side as shown in the Picture, url:http://i52.tinypic.com/2u8832a.jpg

    Initially, I though this is caused by coolant elbow. After replacing these elbows, I still see the coolant seeping from the red gasket! I am pretty sure that the coolant does not come from the elbow, but from the red gasket. What confuses me is, there is no coolant pass in that area, correct? Could someone enlighten me where is the source of coolant? By the way, the lower LIM gasket was replaced with aluminum one. The coolant is clear, no sign of mixed oil/coolant.

    Thanks for reading my post and I appreciate your inputs.

    Water pump gasket leaking at that bolt maybe?

    You are correct about the red gasket at the LIM. There is no coolant passage there. Check the waterpump gasket.
