Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My 1999 3.4L has a coolant leak from a black box on the engine that is not easily accessible. I can see where the leak is, but can't identify the part. The indy said he may have to pull the engine to get to it. Any thoughts what the black box is? I have a diagram of hoses, but this part is not showing. I don't appear to have oil/coolant mix, just a coolant leak. Any help would be appreciated. I do not have a picture available at this time.
Right side of car? Left side of car?
The ony thing I can think of that is a "black Box" that is inaccessible, and has coolant is the AOS. On 996's there is coolant that runs through the AOS. It can be removed without dropping the engine, but the time estimate is 10-12 hours. All the intake, etc. has to be taken off and it is still hard to get at. It is almost quicker to drop the engine.
get a second opinion, the intake can be removed and access to that area is not too bad.. I dont know how quickly the motor comes out. Sounds like someone trying to sell labor
