Leaky Throttle Body Housing
I have a 2002 Discovery 2. The throttle body housing is leaking coolant after the engine has been running for a while. Looks like it is coming out around the two small hoses on the bottom of the housing. Does this mean that the engine is overheating? What is the fix for this issue?
Are you talking about around the square plate at the bottom ?
if so it may not be overheating YET !!! if the coolant runs out however...your screwed ...
normally there's a square gasket there under with 3 bolts , that leaks , check the hose clips on the hoses first ,or change gasket if needed..... clean surfaces properly , refit gasket and you should be ok ( you will have to drain the coolant before )
