Leaking coolant - Need help
 
I noticed today my car seems to be leaking coolant at the back of the motor and is pooling up where the injectors are. Is this common? When i replace the gasket is there any other gaskets I should do just for the sake of doing while I have it apart?

Get the aluminum LIM gaskets.

This picture should help for the first one.

Top center near the firewall - it looks like you are missing a piece in your picture (or your hand is blocking it) and that is why you can't find where to connect that vaccum line.

The one that T's off at the LIM continues on to the back of the engine and plugs onto a hidden location on the underside of the MAP sensor. Your current vaccum line is not long enough.

(directly to the left of the UPC label in the picture below)

Ok I have the vacuum hooked up to the MAP now. The one im holding in the first picture, The one end is there (connected to the PCV, I believe that's what it is) but I don't know where the other end goes. It looks like on your picture it runs up beside the TB. What is it going to there?

I am pretty sure without looking that it goes to the front port on the throttle body. it goes right under that main wire loom.

I'm not sure what;s going on. I cannot find anything to attach that to. It just makes no sense at all to me. Any chance anyone has a picture or something? Or do you know what it is called so that I can google it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well thanks for the help and pics haro, after looking at the pic 100 times I finally realized that the line comes to the front of the TB. Ended up being successful with no leaks.
