Hi guys,
Found a small puddle of coolant under the Galant a few days ago.
Traced it to the front turbo coolant line leaking from where the rubber hose joins the hard line from the turbo.
I'm guessing this is the return line as it goes to near the top radiator hose.
But, when I went to replace the hose I found this (Fuck):
The connection to the thermostat housing was completely blocked full of this black crap.
My questions is:
Any thoughts what could have caused this?
I've cleaned it all out with a drill bit and flushed it all.
Car has probably been like this for a while. Could there be long term damage?
Thanks All
