My car has been leaking a little bit of coolant ever since I did this. I just took my alternator off (it died
) and saw where my leak was coming from; the bigger plastic connector which attaches to the side of the block. It's the same one I had to force on, and the same one "martin02" had trouble with.
I'm not up for taking the whole intake manifold off, so I think I'm gonna clean the area and use some RTV silicone to seal it. Just a heads-up for those doing this project. You might want to add some sealant to both of the plastic connectors upon assembly.
