Hey whatsup guys, new to the 5.0 section. I got a 1991 hatch. I got the car after it being out of comission for years, It runs really good, i did a complete tune up and its running like a solid 5.0. But now i have a issue. Whenever i seem to put stress on the engine, i get a huge water leak. i dont know from where but its like a peehole size hole splurting out high pressure water. As the engine cools down, the pressure also does. Now What do you guys think? The car is not overheating. Unless my gauge is messed up. But i dont think so. Any opinions?

There's a coolant hose that runs down to the back of the lower intake, behind the throttle body area. It's a bitch to get to, but they're known for popping pin holes.

Im sorry i Forgot to mention where its coming from. Its coming from from the back of the engine. It seems like by the heads, or lower intake or that plug that goes around that areo. Not quite Sure.. And its only when i push the engine. If i drive it normally, then its fine. And when i was driving it earlier, i was parking up and i heard somewhat of a vacuum leak. So i popped the hood and around that spot it was just throwing out steam. And the coolant reservoir was empty and when i opened the radiator ( engine was hot -.- ) it still had water.

Hmmm, see that sounds probable. Its like a pin hole size water leak. Im guessing i would have to jack up the engine a but to get to it.

Shouldn't have to jack up the engine to get to any coolant lines.
