Chevrolet Repair: Coolant Leak, air conditioner condensation, coolant leak
QuestionI have a small stream (sometimes a dribble) of coolant that is leaking from somewhere above the starter on my 97 suburban. The leak only happens when the engine is warm. I replaced the diverter valve for the heater units and discovered the leak when working the air out of the system. Where is the coolant coming from and how do I repair the leak?
AnswerHello Gary,
I would suspect it is probably from the connector in the intake manifold where the heater hose connects.
Other possibilities are a head gasket, or a freeze plug in the block.
Make sure you are talking about a dribble of coolant, or a dribble of water, which could be from the air conditioner condensation drain.
