Just got my motor replace , what a mess
I have posted my motor was blown dued to a number 5 cylinder detonating . I replace the motor using a e55 m113k . As I noticed this replacement wasn’t easy and a lot of major things had to be swap over . I finish the swap and realized I have a leak between the water pump and thermostat housing . It’s almost below the temperature sensor above the wp. Then I have a leak on the passenger side between the left side radiator and heat exchanger ... is there anyone on here that are familiar with the cooling setup on this engine .

Leak
What’s to know ? It’s easy for you to say when you’re not looking at the leak . I look at both side ...at the thermostat there’s no leak . Then I look at the water pump it’s dry. It’s wet on the block and not the pump . I’m pretty sure most of you guys that make smart remark probably never held a wrench .

Leak
I highly doubt that the block is crack , It can be coming from the supercharger , because that was the only thing removed .

So pull the supercharger and intake manifold. Easy work. Find leak. Repair. Profit.
Yes; I have done it. Many times. If you can handle an engine swap you can do this.

Leak
I hear you on that but I’m going to use a borescope this weekend to confirm what’s leaking . I’m not in the best shape also, so I really don’t want to do work if it’s not needed .

Leak
I narrow it down to that area but on these car it’s hard to confirm it . It’s hard to see under all those things but I will use a borescope to see if it’s the pump .
