Not yet. The problem seems intermittent but there is definitely fresh coolant in the valley (only on the driver side) whenever I drive the car and the level in the overflow reservoir slowly drops over time.
This may be totally crazy, but my theory is that the bypass pipe is leaking, filling up the chamber where the knock sensors are, and it’s seeping past the intake gasket and out into the valley. From there, it drips out the back of the valley and onto the ground. I’m just speculating because I don’t know how else fresh coolant is showing up in the driver side valley. If it were the hoses under the TB, the coolant would be in the passenger side valley, but that side is totally dry.
I’ve ordered the water bypass pipe, FIPG, knock sensor harness, and intake gaskets and plan to dive in and do it in the next few weeks.
