Message Just replaced my radiator and hoses last weekend to repair a slight leak, so I knew something else would go wrong since something ALWAYS has to be wrong with these damn cars.........

Took it out tonight and when I put it back in the garage and started wiping it down, about 3 minutes after I shut it off I hear what sounds like a pan full of water being dumped on the exhaust. I pop the hood and there is some steam from the back of the motor and some coolant splashed around a little back there. Too dark to see exactly where.

What all is back there? Sounded like a hose ruptured to me. Looked to be about dead center of the motor. Drivers side turbo coolant line was replaced 10k-20k ago, so that should not be it. Drivers side looks to be fine and it seems to far to the center for that.

I believe there are some lined that run under the plenum - are they prone to rupture? Heater lines maybe?

Other thoughts?
