i dont have a clue what a engine boot is, and i dont think your attempt at doing coolant elbows could cause a leak.


do you see oil hitting the ground? if so wheres a bout? post some pics if you can.

did you get the elbows changed?

Didn't change anything. Everything was put back. Maybe I didn't tighten everything????

I don't know what an "engine boot" is either. I thought the term was very sketchy. Sounds like mechanic BS.

No, I did not get the elbows changed. The little project got too difficult once I got past the alternator and to the alternator bracket (which was never removed).

Yes, oil is definitely leaking while the car is in motion.
