What's up LVC Family. I'm finally throwing in the towel and selling my LS. I was having a coolant leak issue that I just couldn't figure out. Turned out, my water pump wasn't bolted down tight enough. Well it wasn't because the bolts were snapped off into the block. I don't know how it happened...

I got it at rock auto. But even still, I checked the degas bottle and it's not leaking.

OEM, lol I made the mistake of getting the dorman once, never again

So wait, I'm confused. I am having this exact issue. I've. Changed all plastic parts, to include the radiator. I have the telltale green coolant leaking from the back of the engine. I also cannot see what it is because it's a tight fit at the back of the engine bay. I'm really trying to figure...

Ok. Yea I felt down under the hose while it was running. I felt the coolant coming from the bottom of it. Im thinking it might be a bad dccv

The only time I see the leak is when the car is running and it's coming from the left side hose of the dccv. Another question. Is it possible that the hoses got crossed when I reconnected

Yea I gotcha. All of th cooling parts are maybe, at most, 3-4 years old. I did thr massive swap out of all pieces periodically that long ago. That's when I first got it and didnt know that it was best to change everything at once haha. So I fell into the "change this, now this, now this" trap lol

This is what im seeing at rock auto. 2004 LINCOLN LS 3.9L V8 Heater Valve | RockAuto

Oem dccv. Is there another brand recommended or should I just stick with the oem? The plastic on the upper hose is in great condition

Joegr, long time bro lol. I was thinking that man. This one is less than 3 years old if I remember correctly. I just hoped it wasnt that. I jusy changed my radiator cause it cracked at the upper radiator hose and I also changed the aux water pump. (Thought that's what went bad prior to seeing...

I had a leak coming from one of my hoses on the DCCV. Could that be an indicator of a bad DCCV? At first I thought maybe a hose was split. I checked them and both were fine. I connected the DCCV to it's connector and had my wife turn the ignition to the on position and felt it ping. I'm lost as...

The red arrow points to 3W4Z-8548-AD (throttle body heater hose, from top of block (under manifold to throttle body port) this is the one. It's split right before it goes into the manifold

It's the one thats directly under the intake manifold and in the other picture it's the one with the u bend in it

this is the hose in question

I believe it's hose 8276 in the diagram
