Ok. Unfortunately I do not have access to one of those code scanners. I know where the rear sensor is located. Do you know where the front one is located?

Re: Coolant leak - manifold nipple
I called a local mechanic and he suggested that they can be eliminated. The one to the right (rusted one) is the one that is leaking. Can I actually tie them together and leave both plugs left open?

Re: Coolant leak - manifold nipple
I know my question sounds stupid. Wouldn't it still be leaking inside and collect at the end of the hose and leak out?
