My 9k developed a coolant leak recently, which took me a while to track down. I eventually traced it to the point where the crankcase breather connects to the air intake (just before the turbo). Right next to it, there is a small rubber pipe apparently going into the intake. The other end connects to a thin metal pipe which went off around the block somewhere. Anyone know what on earth this is for? Some primative form of water injection maybe? :o) It's the last place I was expecting to find coolant! Or is it a vacuum pipe and something else is leaking into the pipe? Regards, Alan P.S. a similar thin metal pipe goes into the turbo and out the other side - are they water cooled? I thought they were oil cooled?
