Coolant leak

[PrixieGirl69]

So today i backed up into a spot and the rpms started fluctuating at idle, i knew something was wrong i lifting the hood and seen the belts were wet and coolant was spattering from them, i looked under the supercharger nozzle and a black T shaped plastic peice was snapped and hissing for air, for now i superglued it back on and its fine and the rpm glitch stopped but im still losing coolant and its creating a puddle under the car everywhere i parked and under the plastic peice leaks a little bit but im not sure whats causing this major leak help!!!!!

Coolant elbows are leaking probably, maybe water pump.

I watch the elbow and it slowly dripps so i dont think thats the main isssue, where wud it be leaking?

that elbow cracks, or the o ring fails and it leaks.

its a cheap fix. new elbows are like 10 bucks for the new metal replacements, you just take the alt bracke toff, clean all the holes for the elbows up good, oil the o rings and slide the new elbows in. then put the alt bracket and elbows back on the engine. its a 30 minute job pretty much.

Then its the elbows they can leak a lot once the system gets pressure mine blew out and pumped coolant everywhere. Replace them with aluminum versions.

Will that one elbow be causing that much of an issue and that big of a leak?

[Russosaur]

Yep because they usually break like this, if you wanna be ultra sure clean the area well then drive it around up to temperature. Then stop with the engine running pop the hood and look at them or pressure test the system. They might be squirting out fluid or dripping pretty good. For the cost of them you might as well replace them, because they will go bad eventually.

if its leaking enough to set the low coolant light or its over heating, change them asap.
