All,
I replaced the Coolant hose that runs from the coolant rail under the intake to the bottom of the Throttle Body (1993 Turbo) and tightened the (new) clamps, and when I start the car, I still get a drip from UNDER the throttle body. It drips from the center bottom of the metal "box" that is the Throttle body itself.
It doesn't seem to be the hose or the area the hose clamps to. Seems to be the throttle body itself.
Is there some kind of seal or something in there?
I do not want to buy a new throttle body, for obvious (cost) reasons.
Should I take it (the TB) off and look at it? Advice?
-Dan
