    Water leak (Back motor driver side)

    Ok so i am the idiot here. I check the leak further and took off top of intake to see if maybe...just maybe the thermostat housing was leaking in the back. You guessed right...it was! Big time! And couldnt see it unless top intake was off (which makes doing a thermostat 10 tiems easier...
