I noticed a plume of steam when I came to a stop. After taking the engine cover off I realized I have a coolant leak just under the supercharger on the front side of the engine (closest to the bumper). The coolant is pooling up around the fuel injectors. I can't seem to find where the leak is coming from as it is very small. Any ideas what it could be?

Thanks!

Do a better visual inspection. Check the two coolant elbows and radiator hoses to include thermostat housing.

Also, possible supercharger or LIM gaskets.

I had a coolant leak that pooled between my rear rocker cover and the supercharger...was a LIM gasket leak...sounds like what you may have.

I think that's what it is. I don't yet have a manual for this car. Anyone ever done this job before? Easy, hard?

Thanks!

Bob has a writeup in the tips and maintenance subforum about doing LIM gaskets on a 3800. Its not a very hard job, just take your time and make sure to use a calibrated torque wrench.

Yes.

For a first time DIY job about a days worth of work. First step is to get the supercharger, throttle body and LIM gaskets. Other parts like the two coolant bypass elbows, fuel injector o-rings and consumables like anti-freeze.

We can walk you along so feel free to ask more questions.
