Coolant dripping from under my throttle body?

My 95 lx, powered by a 2.7l 4 cyl of fury auto, has sprung a leak of some sorts up under the throttle body/intake manifold area. If anyone could enlighten me of the source of this issue i would be oh so greatfull

 

The intake throttle body has a small amount of coolant passing through it to keep it from freezing. Freezing could happen in the winter due to the large pressure drop across the butterfly valve.

That being said, your hose clamp or hose may be failing. Just remove your TB when the engine has cooled down and see what's going on.

 

Dylan thanks for your reply. Had no clue that coolant ran threw the throttle body. It's been in the single digits here in CT. Haven't made it outside to look at it yet. But now that I know this bit of information should make this job twice as easy. Thanks

 

No problem! I live down south and it's really warm all year. I bypassed this on my tundra back in 2010ish in hopes of a MPG gain but noticed nothing.

Should be an easy fix. Good luck!

 

Coolant runs through the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve and EGR valve. If one of these little hoses is bad, you might as well replace them all while you have it apart. There should be 3 hoses under there if you have an EGR valve.
