Default p-38 cooling leak

so I at the hospital getting my treatment and i come after a couple hours and here is this big green puddle in the parking lot. Like my p-38 lifted its leg and just took a wiz.

so i top off my recovery tank and start it and coolant pouring out all over the back of the engine. coolant is coming out way to fast to be a HG has to be an intake gasket or rear freeze freeze plug?

will have to get it home and apart, another fun LR weekend

Huge leak just like that? Are you sure it isn't a hose on the plenum heater or heater core? I know that the heater core O-rings leak on the inside of the P38 so it couldn't be those. I had a Bosch in my P38 but you have a GEMS engine so I'm not sure if they routed things differently on yours.

fortunately or unfortunate depending upon how you look at it it was the intake gasket.
luckly it on took an hour to pull and about the same the next morning to re-install and change the oil.
I guess it was due.
