hello all.
My 850 Turbo is running fine but after a long drive when the engine is hot it seems to have a fast anti freeze leak at the back right side of the engine. Any recommendations on what might be causing this???

Cheers
Dan

Check the hoses first. Look carefully especially at the connection joints of the hoses for any sign of leaks.

What you described basically showed that when things get hot (expansion of matter) then the leak occurs.

Happened a few times to me, and I suspect, as things age, will happen again. Heheh... :lol:

There is a short hose near the back right which connects from the expansion tank to the block and a bit more. They are right above (or below) the turbo air shield. These get hot and could be near death.
