coolant leak
 
I have a 96 gt with 98 motor ... when i start my car up and let it idle coolant will leak out of the coolant resevoir with in about 5 min.. the lower Radiator hose has always had a kink in it but the coolant never leaked befor. What could this be from. Once it warms up it leaks for the thermostat housing . any help would be great . thanks

not sure what you mean ...

If the lower hose has a kink, I'd replace it. If the coolant is leaking from the cap, replace that, it's not holding the pressure. You could simply have it filled too high. The car shouldn't even by cycling fluid when it first starts up.

Are you going for the full swap or just the intake? I have a PI intake from an 02 GT that only has 22k on it. If you need it PM me and we can talk.
