I have a water leak where i believe is in the valley. It only leaks like hell when i use my heater.. any thoughts? thanks in advance

 

Well sounds like it could be on the other side of the shut off valve. From what you described, when you don't have the heat on. That valve should be closed and keeping water from flowing to the spot where it leaks. That valve is controlled by vaccuum and located around the passenger side valve cover.

 

Sweet i will check it out tomorrow. Yeah usually it leaks like crazy but today i didnt use my heater and didnt leak a drop.... what would it take to fix it do you think? prolly just a new hose hm?

 

Depends. Could be a hose, the valve itself or just a hose clamp. Should be easy to check the valve area. Nothing is blocking it and should be right on top or next to the pas side valve cover.

 

sweet thanks man i appreciate it

 

check the heater controll valve if you have one. would also have signs of leaking on the #5 injector plug.

 

Ok so i checked the heater valve. dry and tight.... but i think it may be this hose it is my egr hose right??

That is the old style EGR hose I believe. The updated hose is blue. Strange that it changes when heat is on. I wouldn't think the valve is inline with the flow from the oil cooler/egr. They usually leak when cold. Perhaps the extra flow through the heater core drops the pressure enough to let it leak around the o-rings.

Good thread on replacing the hose, with a couple pics of tools to use.
