Thread: 2000 GTP coolant leak question

Hey guys, I noticed I had a coolant leak so I went to investigate. I found my elbow(s) are leaking for sure, but I wanted to know what that T fitting thing is above the front elbow. I have coolant dripping from it. At least that's what it looks like to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I haven't done anything to this other than a CAI, and a new thermostat (just some autozone one) about 4 months ago. She's got 101k miles on it too.

Here's the best pic I could get of it... http://i.imgur.com/d1angoE.jpg

Thanks for your time guys.

Well ****... unless the elbow is cracked maybe up top? Can I just pull the vac line out and see if anything comes out?

Awesome! I just checked the vac line, nothing came out and seemed bone dry. The vac line was cracked and broken where it connects to the engine. Is it ok to drive it around with it cracked? I placed it back on the nipple sticking out from the block. Thank you so much for your help man I really appreciate it.

go to advance auto, they sell small white vac T's. a pair for 2 bucks, then get 4 inches of vac tubing. then cut that 4 inch piece into 3 equal parts, toss the old T, then put the new T with each end with a vac tubing on it its place push it on the stem on the manifold, then push the stock lines into the vac lines on the new T.
