Changed my oil and ATF tonight, while under the car noticed dried up coolant on everything and that my reservoir was dangerously low (uh-oh).

changed oil, changed ATF, tracked down what the heck was leaking but I don't know what the heck it is. it's a 2004 AT (just for ref.) and the leak point is immediately above the rear engine mount.

What is it, is it costly, can I fix it, you guys rock, thanks for the help!

 

I've never looked at the TL specifically but it looks like a heater control valve. It shuts off/turns on the water to the heater.

 

It should be as easy as removing the two hoses and the cable that moves it. Should be cheap.

 

#23??

Part#: 80220-S6A-013
Desc: VALVE, EXPANSION
Year/Model: 2004/TL
List $: 75.93
Disc $: 56.95


Maybe could be #12 too, I just can't tell for sure from the drawing.

I think #12 is what he is looking for.

 

HA! Beat me. I added an edit, thinking I had the orientation switched around.

 

Actually, maybe it's this:79710-SDA-A01VALVE ASSY., WATER


Water control valve.

 

will I need to drain the engine of coolant? are we sure it's #12? That would be tits, #12 is like 3 bucks. seems like there's no way anything on an acura could be 3 bucks...

 

I don't know what part it is for sure. Have your local dealer tell you to be sure.



Maybe I Hate Cars is more certain. If so, it's about a $17 part.

79710-SDA-A01 VALVE ASSY., WATER $16.95 $12.71

 

should I just clamp down the hose before and after the part and just replace it, or do I need to drain and refill the coolant?

Anyone know for sure which part it is?

Thanks guys!!!

 

SRT.. did you ever get it addressed? was it the valve / hoses / heater core?
