Like the title shows, I have a 1997 Camry LE 5sfe atm that I replaced the engine on. I noticed last night that I have a substantial coolant leak coming from the rear (at or near the firewall area) of the engine or head. The coolant runs onto the flex pipe. It seemed to have been losing quite a bit when at normal operating temperature. Are there any suggestions on what to check. I am hoping that it is just a hose (maybe coolant line to t-body or heater core) but I cant see it very good or at all. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks.

 

I also would like to know how that ground is ran that is on the left side (drivers) of the engine area. It's the one that bolts onto the left front strut tower but I dont remember exactly what two placed it bolts onto the engine. Any pics would be appreciated. Thanks

 

The throttle body has a couple of small coolant hoses running to it.

On the lower drivers side of the back of the block is coolant drain plug for the block.

The rear of the block also has freeze plugs that can corrode and leak.

The ground strap may run from the front of the strut tower (small bolt) to the front of the engine where there is a hook to lift the engine up. This terminal size is much larger.

 

Finally found the coolant leak last night. Was one of the coolant lines that go to the throttle body. Had a small cut or rip in it and couldnt see it until I grabbed ahold of it and it sprayed out. Luckily the old engine still had one on it.

I've got the ground on the strut tower and the larger of the two eye connectors to the bolt for the engine hook but its got another eye connector too. I dont really know where it goes.
