Coolamt leaking from boost bypass actuator

[Fabian_sn95]

So in a nut shell, pull the blower with intercooler together an had it off the car for about 4-5 months
Put it all back together an primed the car (new fuel system an on e85)
Noticed a small coolant leak an thought nothing of it. Cleaned the floor, reprimed the car, no apparent leak. Next day i look an there is a good sized puddle. So i traced the leak back to the boost bypass coupler, in between the bracket an adapter plate. thinking it was some left over coolant from when the blower sat uneven for such a long time? Any insight? Thanks
I also added a cobra t stat, car isnt tuned, alot was changed, maybe due to not being tuned its creating a ton of pressure causing it to leak from up top? Car didnt leak before i tore it down, boost bypass valve was untouched.

Attached some pics, also have a video i can text, you can see the fluid in between the adapter plate an actuator.

Sounds like you will be pulling off

O rings or cooler is leaking

I expect the lower to be completely full of coolant

I’m thinking the same, not sure why it would be full though, if I pulled the whole unit out as a whole an basically left it untouched

Turns out I have coolant in my spark plugs

Yup, going to pull the blower an empty out all the coolant an blow it all out, hopefully no damage was dealt. New gaskets an stuff then out it back together
