So I’ve had every component of the cooling system replaced… some parts multiple times as a “just in case”. Went a solid year with no overheating but now it’s back it. This time it’s smoking up and stalling on me. I filled up the reservoir with coolant and turned the car on. Definitely a huge leak but where does it look like it’s coming from? It’s literally spewing out into everything. IMG_8904.jpeg

Look behind that big radiator Hose - that one sucks water from the radiator into the engine

That is the uptake side of the system - that's where the water goes in.

But the leak - might be from a cracked nylon line like the burp line dripping onto that hose and since it would have pressure - the line itself goes from the coolant tank all the way beck behind that hose to the rear cylinder head section by the exhaust side - that is a burp line - it could have failed or come off the metal hose connector and lost seal
