I put a new engine in my Syncro and not 1000 miles down the road, I had coolant coming out (that I thought was from the driver side head)...A very close inspection by me seemed to confirm this. The dealer however was able to find a coolant hose that was the real culprit (under the driver side fuel injection system). All the angles in the world (for me) couldn't see this leak. May yours be so simple. |
