I had a leak from one of the block bolts. One of the bolts came loose allowed coolant out between trans and engine.
make sure you look good, before you decide what to fix.

Mine ended up being the hose from the rotor housing to the TB or UIM whichever has the coolant going through it. I Cant remember it was like 2 years ago. I apparently pinched it installing the uim and it leaked slowly for a long time till I found it. I was in a panic because it was so slow it wouldn't leave puddles so I thought I lost a housing seal.

check the Orings on the lower intake manifold. I just finished fixing this on my car about a month or 2 ago in case you need any guidance. when it happened i taught a freeze plug was leaking or something. good luck

I had a similar problem, overheating and losing coolant from seemingly nowhere, i thought it was the 90* hose but as polito said it was o rings, letting coolant warp the gasket, creating a passage for coolant to slowly leak, at the same time letting collant into the intake... running like **** b/c a $4 o-ring

Why not change the LIM o-rings and the hose from the rear iron? Theyve never been replaced before anyway this is an extremely big pain in the *** hose to replace, its be better to replace now than to have to tow it home for an extra $100+ because you cant take the intake off on the side of the road.

i appreciate the offer polito but i think i have this all figured out..its a new rebuilt motor and i already put it back together just to find this **** out on the first quick start up...i forgot to put the damn o rings in the lim(isnt leaking but prob will soon) and it is 90 hose on the back uim..so now i have this fine weekend to sit there and rip it all back down to bare block to put in the damn o rings then reassemble as i finally just got done doing 1 week ago...oh well fun stuff always find something different when working on her..
