What does it mean when water leaks out of the no.3 exhaust port
about 500ml in 10 mins leaks ut the no.3 port the motor runs smooth at idle and still revs up, any ideas what the problem may be ?
oil is still new with no water making it's way down there.
sorry for the bad gramma

Re: What does it mean
pull the manifold and block the port with an epoxy steel
its the little hole on No3 runner

Re: What does it mean
any bubbles in the radiator? {take the cap off when cold and start her up and let it idle there for a while to warm it up, and look for bubbles}
If not, then as amgis_obrut has said... inlet manifold. not much point swapping it either unless you can find a new one, there pretty much all cactus now - unless the vehicle has a coolant flush out every 3 months
(can you get the feeling i think there crappy manifolds?
)
Cheers,
Nick.
