    Hey guys, recently, my '99 GT began leaking coolant at a pretty heavy rate. I replaced those dreaded coolant elbows about 6 months ago, and the leaking stopped for a while. I was just wondering, if those could be the culprit again, or if its something else like the intake gasket. Thanks

    After further investigation, at least one of the coolant elbows is bad. The plan for now, is I'll buy the aluminum ones from zzp, and hopefuly they last longer.
