[jeremy213]

What's causing this? Happens even when engine isn't on
What transmission is on the 5 speed 2000 holden rodeo 3.2l 6vd1? Can't find anything about it. Plate says "RMN" Can't find Anything?

Is the coolant level dropping?

The ones at the back of the engine? Or is there one down near the back/bottom of the engine/transmission?

Leaks out as fast as i can pour it in

Not sure where they are located exactly, but needless to say, good chance you'll have to remove the gearbox and check from there

Also, have you checked the dipstick? Any water in the oil? Worse case scenario if there is water in the oil, the head is foobarred...

Yep first thing i checked, Getting no water in the oil vise versa
I brought the car assuming it was a cracked head or headgasket, As soon as i put water in it i realized it wasn't

Only way to know which welsh plug it is or take the gearbox off and look from there...

At least it's a relatively cheap fix, providing you can do the work yourself

@vc commodore Found the issue,
Its the coolant tube under the intake manifold that runs coolant to engine, Any idea what it is so i can go get a newie, Or go ask a wreckers for one

Runs from thermostat housing to back of engine
