new coolant leak after intake install

fiveohpatrol · 03-01-2001, 08:52 PM

i think i may have air in the system but would that be making it leak somewhere or make it have too much pressure and find a way to leak somewhere, that seems like what is happening, i saw it coming from the upper rad hose and tightened that then it was fixed until earlier today and then i saw it leaking from other places , i just looked under it but didnt inspect it completely to see it was coming from exactly, now the upper part of the engine is dry and its leaking from down lower somewhere, can air in the system cause this much pressure to do this? oh yah and i'll check the thermostat housing
