I would say this is not the endplates fault. the he fluid is from when you redirected the laminovas.

when you pull them out fluid goes into you intake if they aren't drained all the way. now if you didn't put them back together properly with the 2 washers and the O rings on each end of the laminovas you they will leak.

if no smoke I wouldnt think that you are leaking. Burning antifreeze creates a white smoke from the exhaust.

I made my own dual pass and it doesn't leak, it's probably an error from when you turned the cores around and something probably didn't seat correctly.

Yes white smoke comes out tail pipe. And I took it apart and back together 4 times already to ensure proper seals. The o rings have to be bad or the part..? My last attempt is going to be putting stock endplate on, if no leaks with that one it has to be the part.. any other ideas before I try that?

did you put a lubricant on the seals such as motor oild maybe. When ever removing parts you should always re-lubricate the rubber seals.

my laminovas were leaking. I was losing coolant. I took it to dealer, they filled it, it ran down again. I had them dye test and found it leaking into my intake. No white smoke, no funny sounds or anything. It bled out under boost much faster than running normally.

I think that's happening for me cause I lose a fair amount of coolant every 6 weeks or so. But no noticable white smoke :-/
