yea its coolant found the said "leak" but maybe im just uneducated , its coming from passenger side next to the exhaust manifolds there is two lines that run into my firewall i got pics coming soon im uploading them now, the said leak looks like its supposed to leak

ok so i got some pics this one its the piece that two hoses go in and two come out, it looks like it has like a drainage port at the bottom. maybe im just paranoid and never seen this b4 but im pretty auto savy but have to admit i have no utter clue what this even does or whats its called. it does look like a simple fix however

you can even see where its leaking on the frame above

this one is just for reference on location

Hard to say if it the water valve or split hose. Looks to be at the very top tho. Just get a new valve and some extra hose and it will be fine.

That top hose does look really deteriorated in the pic.

I agree with Sunlit on this. Looks like an easy fix. I'd get that valve and hose.

 

[Gzes]

If u cant duck it **** it. Lol jk but yea its probably just a hose so get it n fix it

 

[992dr]

Thankfuly it seems to be an easy fix.

 

[SunlitComet]

easy but messy. maybe 10-20 minutes.

 

[Donnie Yukonie]

Its the heater mixer valve.
Delco P/N 12380318 about $35 from the dealership.

it's unlikely that the valve is actually the problem, most likely is the hoses and/or clamps but while you're in there with an empty cooling system, might as well change all that out anyways.

beat me to part number. but that's okay i had a bigger fish to fry suddenly.

Mine was the valve and not the hoses. Like said before, change it all and be done with it. That is what I did but even after that I chased leaks, quick connects and then the intake started weeping but not into combustion chambers or oil, just leaking to external. I have not pulled the intake yet as I will just pull the motor and either crate it or rebuild it. 95 TBI with 200K miles on it will do well holding something in the middle of the lake.

The valve on my dads truck did the same but it broke so yea they can go bad. But hurry up n fix it don before it goes boom

 

[SunlitComet]

Boom!!!
