coolant loss help
Hello all,
So i thought I would affix a new clamp to the base of the coolant overflow tank because I've been smelling coolant lately and I see there is a puddle underneath the throttle body...
Anyone know where I should check first?
This is what I thought it was, but it doesnt appear a leak here would lead to the above puddle.

So it sounds like you have to take the throttle body off to fix it. Is there anything special by way of reprogramming that you have to do in the process? or just order a new throttle body gasket and it bolts back in place...
Is this the gasket? "Throttle Body Gasket NNE 3021AC"

I didn't see that one, I was going with SNG.
Just looking at where it is, surely it would be better and less of a pain to take the TB off.
I'm no expert, so let's see if someone chimes in with a "been there done that".

Just checked SNG $15.07. Mention you are a Jaguar Forum member and get 10%.

You definitely do not have to remove the throttle body! It is tight down there, but I have done many of these, even with my "bear paw" hands! Take off the coolant reservoir to reach in there. The easiest way to separate the coupler halves is to give it a twist which spreads the two catches enough to pull it apart. And, while the reservoir is off, look it over carefully for cracks, etc.

Well I found out what may have been bad the hard way. I was driving to work the other morning and suddenly my heater didnt work. Within a few minutes billowing plumes of steam were coming from the engine bay. I took it to a shop and the mechanic had to remove the intake manifold to replace the heater hose. It had blown a penny sized hole in the hose. I asked him if its possible there are any other leaks and he didn't know for sure.
I just lost at least one of this cats 9 lives. I drove the car off the freeway until it was ticking. Now that its got coolant it sounds smooth as if nothing happened.
Yes, the temperature gauges are fake. I never registered a raise in the engine's heat even though it was within minutes of failure.

Dam***t, the check engine light just came on and restricted performance. The mechanic replaced both hoses and flushed the coolant. He says he had to remove the throttle body to replace the intake manifold, but no charge for a tb gasket was on the receipt so he may have misunderstood the question as to whether or not he had to remove the tb.
Anyone know what this could be? I was going to get a quote for the car as a trade in today and now this happens...

The latter two appear to be caused by vacuum leaks. I am going to check the intake ducting to see if I can find it myself but I hope its not the intake manifold that he just reseated.
