KA Overheating, fluid leak out vent tube??? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Wierd! My KA keeps overheating from lack of coolant. My radiator is fine, its brand new, no leaks. However, once my car gets hot enough, fluid shoots out the firewall, out a vent tube. Also, somewhere underneath my Intake runners, there is a HUGE leak. what hoses are under the intake manifold that can leak like that? could it be my thermostat isnt opening, and making my car overheat, causing the fluid out of the firewall vent tube?

If its at all prudent, The heat sucks on my car, even when it overheats it takes forever for the air to warm up. plus, my fluid is brown looking. not good.

help!
