I'm guessing it's that little coolant line in the front. I've taken mine off several times and that always gets me. I'll see if I can find the exact thing I'm talking about...

I can't find the pic.

I am horrible with parts names, but if you look on the front of the manifold near the drivers side you will see a litte hose. If you haven't taken this off do so. It will shoot coolant.

That's what always causes my problem. It seems like it's something in the back, but it always turns out to be that for me.

I could be wrong.

Just wait until you try and reconnect it! I used 6" of 1/4 hose to extend it so I could connect it easily.
