need name/part number of coolant elbow @back of engine
Took forever to find this stupid leak..it's the plastic elbow that bolts to the back of the engine .kinda right below the vacuum pump...I tried searching and looking at diagrams, but can't figure it out...if someone knows the actual name or part# It'd be greatly appreciated....
Does this elbow have an o ring or some kind of gasket that can be replaced, or does the complete elbow need to be replaced?
TIA

well, I eventually found it by searching, and searching, and looking at engine and cooling schematics...the part number is 2712001352, and the o-ring part number is 0279979048...its called the water line oil cooler to cylinder head elbow....
Anyway, It was fairly easy to remove, plenty of room and much easier than the vacuum pump....the O-ring looked fine, but the actual plastic fitting that fits into the cylinder head was completely deteriorated... the only place I found to carry it, other than dealer, was ECS tuning...
