Took the blower off. Heres what I found. The first few pictures are the driver side head. The last one is the passenger side. I took the intercooler to work and and put compressed air to it in a sink full of water. No bubbles were found. Im going to take it to a radiator shop this week just to be sure. I also checked the inlet and outlet orings to the intercooler and found no signs of leaks from there. Any ideas where to go next?
Seems to originate here.. Certainly have a lot of crap around the gasket, that can't help.

That was from the wreck. I replaced the cross over o-rings
Ok, got it.
Anyone else?
Sorry for revivng old thread, but did you get this squared away? My Eaton swap just started ingesting IC coolant and my o-rings were brand new, and the intercooler was mint with less than 11k miles.
Only thing I did was replaced the ic inlet/outlet orings and never had a problem since then.
Nice. Glad to hear. I hope my problem is that simple.
My rings have gone twice...maybe 3 times. I replaced them a few months ago and something is leaking again.
I know this is an old thread so you probably have it fixed by now, but for anyone else that may come across it and are wondering...I have driven thousands of miles with no coolant. As others said, as long as you stay out of boost you're fine.
