YOYO whats up..got some terrible news. Heres the low down.. I moved out cause my moms was KRAZy nah mean so today i go to Long Island to see her and im not even there and she sends me too AutoLand in NJ to pick up her New Ford Truck i was like wtf.



On top of that my car is broken now. I drove over there and noticeed that my car was spewing antifreeze from where the oil area is. So at first i thought it was a little bit of 20w-50 oil that i spilled but the smell was sweet and i noticed antifreeze was coming out my car like a waterfall.. So i park the car and when i come back i see a puddle like whoa under my car. So i start the car and the sensor light comes on add coolant so i add colant and the car is not sucking it in. So i rev it up to get the coolant circulating. But now im stuck in LI cause my car is there and i cant go home. I drove to the bottom of the block and my car was overheating like crazy so i parked it back and evthing and i just got home 30 minutes ago from like 8am.. what is the problem. I heard i need a new Water PUMP or is the Heater Hose or wtf is it help.!



I want to get my car back ASAP

Ok sorry just a bit to anxious. On my fc right where the oil filter area is right ....under in that area i cant see where its coming from but i see liquid all over the bottom area. I cant explain cuase i couldnt see properly where it was coming from. But it sounded like it was coming out of something like if there was pressure behind it forcing it out of an opening but i couldnt check cause it was mad hott. Thats all i know and the heater hose doesnt run through there in the automotive repair manual it showed the heater hose next to the lower radiator hose so what is in that area that could b leaking or broken.. i have to get my car out of Long Island i dont trust my family with my babay.. Before i left my brother was like yo lets put ure battery and new plugs and wires into my car to see it started ( cause the car he got needs new plugs and what not and he really wants to start the car) and i was like **** motha ***** is gonna be with my car now for weeks cause i cant go there cause finals are coming so my car is gonnna be there for weeks incapcitated and then i gotta find out the probs so what do u think it is?

My guess would be the coolant line comming from the TB to the BAC maybe. It's been a long time since I really worked on my NA, so I may be wrong. But that is the only coolant line I can think of over there on a NA.

there isa heater hose that DOES run thru that area. when it gets contaminated with oil it can burst over time. it happend to me. just replace the hose refill the system and get your car back on the road. DONT over heat it.

oh **** i was thinking that maybe that oil that i dropped if it would get hot maybe it would melt the hoses around the area so i tried to clean up as much of the oil that i could but theres so many little things there i didnt want to break sumthing.



what is wrong with me . I fix sumthing on my car and i brake something else man....so i guess thats it APEX13b (nick) told me to change that from the first day i met him and i didnt listen sorry nick lol...iight so where can i get it , how and where is it exactly??

I just had to replacce that same heater hose about three weeks ago. The only place to get the proper one is at the dealer. I ******* ran around to all the different auto parts centers, none of them carry the molded one. The dealer didn't have one in stock either. It was a shitty ordeal.



Noone stocks the proper molded hoses for these car. What a pain in the freaking ***.

yo guys thankz for the help i just checked the maztrix site and **** and they said that those hoses are prone to failure due to oil and **** that leaks on em and when i was driving my car today over there i was thinking to myself



" Yo Jazer, the oil that u spilled in the engine bay while putting the new oil, do u think that oil when it gets hot from the engine temp..will it MELT THE HOSES and other parts in the engine bay", i said yeah that makes sense but i looked at my temp gauge and the car was fine so i preceeded to Long island only to have my car blow up over there..Iight now i just gota wait 2 weeks and get some $$$ and some **** for my car and i know my job wouldnt carry those hoses so ima hit the dealer .



Thanks Guys, thanks NP.***!!!

Mine failed about 2 months ago, I had luck at the local Napa, I bought all the hoses, may as well replace them all when you do one, anyway, for like 50 bucks I got new hoses that fit perfectly and they even came with the plastic protective sleeves on them. I HATE the Mazda dealers. The hose that runs from the firewall to the engine just below the oil filter can be a little tricky, not much room for two hands in there. Just make sure you dont knock off the large vacuum hose right above the filter when you fix the coolant line, spent an hour trying to figure out why the car would not idle. Good luck.

Yo thanks alot man. I was wondering where it was its like so tight down there and the wrong move u can disconect something else and screw yourself up. Napa has it .. Ok ima try them and while im at im going to get some R12 for my car i heard they sell it and they dont check for a license . well atleast where i live. And the smartest thing to do is that if one hose brakes replace all of them so u can save ureself a headache later on. And not for nothing the next thing i was going to do to my car was replace all the hoses man.





thank YOu
