Ulfheddin045 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I just got done swapping in a new Koyo radiator, since the stock one in my 05 LGT split on my. Went to start refilling the coolant and I noticed a leak underneath. It's the steel tube running from the thermostat housing, and I can't seem to find it on a diagram. Anyone know exactly what I need to look for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awfulwaffle Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Only piece of steel tubing I can think of is the oil cooler supply pipe.

Ulfheddin045 Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 Yep, that's it, thank y'all. Downside of having the service manual on my phone, it's a pain finding things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonamedude Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Yea if it's drained I'd just go ahead and replace all the hoses down there. Mine were swollen like a balloon. And go ahead and check the others you can reach just in case. I didn't do that on my civic and got to keep draining coolant to replace stuff one at a time.
