need some more details... simply installing a header should not cause a coolant leak in any way.

Someone locally here went to install a header, not sure what one. They said when they did, almost a qt of coolant came out from somewhere. I don't see how but it has happened.

i remember hearing that some hose gets in the way. i'm thinking that it was for the heater. but i'm just going on what i think that i may have read sometime once before. not very scientific.

there is also a crossbar type thing under the header that the header rubs against.. im thinking maybe the old one should go back on..
