Default Could be an expensive coolant leak.

I didn't take any pictures of my project, because I was not taking my time for the repair, as well as the repair kit comes with installation video. I wouldn't have known about the leak or the repair kit if it wasn't for my friend who owns a SL2 and already experienced this problem.


The leak was coming from a small crack in the line associated with the plastic intake manifold. The kit is around $80 and is cheaper then a new or used manifold that will more then likely leak in the future. The kit converts the coolant line by carefully cutting out the old line and installing the metal one. It took me a good part of the afternoon and late into the evening. I wanted to take my time and follow the instructions given, but needed my car up and running for the next day.
The video might me a little bland, but informative.

I know it only applies to a few older models but it helped my friend and I out.

Also I didn't know there was a torque mount under the air filter box.
