    While you're at it, check the radiator outlet hose for leaks where it enters the water pump housing as well as the throttle body bypass hose (it's the small hose behind the radiator outlet hose leading to the throttle body). Either one of those could douse the passenger side of the the engine with coolant! Best of luck tracking it down...

    It sounds like it's up too high to be the water pump and on the outside of the engine. I'm hoping it's related to the crossover pipe or all those other coolant hoses and pipes around there that some of us have had problems with. Any of those parts will not be a big problem for a good mechanic to replace.

    The two gaskets #160 are known to fail along with other o-rings, gaskets, and rubber parts around there. Everything you see below is all carrying coolant.
