antifreeze shooting out
ok on the back of my intake manifold i have some kind of solonid i dont know what it is or what it does.but one of the hoses comes from the throtle body and goes to it. today i noticed antifreeze coming from the hose that connects the two is there even suppose to be coolant in that hose? and if not how did it get there?
is it on like a 99civic?
i know my 99civic has 2 steel hoses around the intake manifold going around the valve cover, one is a air breather hose and the other is something with radiator fluid going thru it...
they are just small hoses, they could be split or they could just need a new hose clamp to tighten them to the metal tubes. i think stock just uses those weak spring clamps. personaly i hate those! i go with the bolt type clamps! that way you know its tight!

Yes there is supposed to be antifreeze in there. It preheats the air used at idle a little to make the engine idle better in cold weather.
Sounds like you need a new hose. I suggest replacing all the little water hoses that run around the manifold while you're at it.
