Locations of potential sources of AAN coolant leaks?
Quick answer is any of the hoses, pipes or devices shown in the diagram below *AND* the head gasket (maybe the No.1 source on an older AAN with the original paper and metal headgasket). More headgasket and headbolt info.
The rest of the usual suspects are below the diagram.
Turbo Coolant Feed and Return Lines
Feed:
Return (under intake manifold):
Heater and Radiator coolant systems
The overall coolant system with PNs
Heater Core DIY
HVAC Bleeder Valve
Heater Control Valve
Climate Control "Tee"
Expansion Tank/Reservoir
After-run pump and control module
Radiator
Water Pump
Thermostat, details, replacement, etc
Coolant Flange
20VT Water Manifolds
Casting plugs in the head
Frost plugs

Hey guys. If you see that a hyperlink (an underlined bit of text) that I have tried to provide you (for more info on that subject) isn't working, please let me know. I just found out that none of them were working in this post. (Thanks to WORD find/replace). They all work now and provide more info than just an item name.
Try the links. Please.

I just browsed through all the links in the article - many thanks as always. I did find a dead link. "Radiator" in the list at the end of the article goes to a 404 page:

This linked got me to a page on the "Coolant Tee"

I just replaced my turbo coolant return line... I can't complain, though.. it was leaking but didn't fail completely.
So, good news, no trouble getting the part and I took the opportunity to check all the other hoses.
