yeah the actual inlet housing thingy... uuh dammit cant tink of it.. it is the thing where your hose joins up to your motor.. theres TWO of theme and they are prone to rust. 100% sure htis is your problem.. its rusted.. has a hole in it an leeks slightly.. also make surey ou top up your radiator and check every few weeks.. Yeh so take off your hose and have al ok and i bet thats hte issue.. cheers man

yeah i felt on it for holes.. couldnt fine one but then again it could be tiny and too mall for em to feel but is what yoru talking about liek a right angled pipe or soemthing ? i coudltn really see in there very well but thast what it seemed to be, as for the few weeks.. i only wish it was liek taht... gotta top it up liek 2twice a day if im driving now.. if it si this thing your talkign about.. can ya jsut get em from the wreckers? or is it like tad harder to get one.. ?

water leaks occur mostly when the water is under pressure while the motor is running. ive had the same problem before and what BADVL_SL said is right lol

yeah nah just pulled the 2 heater hoses of... theres a small slpit in the hose thnsk guys, Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

is th inlet thingy rusty? by teh way they are cheap as chips to buy and your better off buying them new anyway.. no second hand **** lol..

cheap? tell me where they are cheap?????????

they are cheap in nz lol

nissan charge like $100

LOL @ beejay, they are not cheap as chips. I spent more than $100 on 2 heater hose connections from holden when I was rebuilding my motor.

poo

aah.. i PAID - top thermostat housing $33.75 - Water Outlet $25.35 - radiator hose top $9.00!! (whoah! lol) - $53 bucks for the thermostat itself.. (found some prices) ... so basically thats all around $100 which isnt ccheap considering...

lol well i got my hose today, 12.50 from repco and 5L of coolent mummy paid and now..... my car is all good and going! been a bad week for it , 1st no fuel, then no spark, then no water and almost killed it.. now its runnign like a dream.. other then the low oil which i gotta get onto, actually and nice easy ways to find and stop an oil leak, it seems to be going throw a bitta oil only theres no oil spots on the ground were ever i park.. even when it was sitting in the carport for 3-4days ;s Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Try the engine being hot due to coolant loss and therefore simply burning the oil Do an oil change now and see if it still burns oil with the coolant leak fixed

yeah nah actualyl i do need piston rings, when i take off the oil cap i get a little air/backpressaure.. what ever its called.. this means i need new rings yes.. ?

anyone knwo how much it would cost to get new rings and fit them ? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
