I currently have a 1994 Toyota Celica GT Coupe with a T3/T4 Turbo setup on it. Recently I noticed that coolant was leaking only after the car is shut off. After the car has been sitting for awhile, such as overnight, when I start it it blows a cloud of white smoke then runs normally after that. It does have an oil cooler, not sure if that's the problem though. The coolant overflow tank has also been removed. I was told it could be a lot of things. . Any advise would be awesome! Thanks, -Zach |

You should start by getting an overflow tank from the junkyard for a few reasons
-when the engine is hot the cap can let water out to relieve pressure which goes into the tank. -the water coming from overflow outlet or tube could be your leak. Other than that there are a few hoses around the area of the airbox that either need the hose clamps snugged up and or new pliable rubber hose |
