The leak I had I thought was from the front, but it was actually in the rear and ran up the tunnel and out the front. I had water wetter in there so it was very hard to see the fluid in the tunnel. So make sure it is the front fitting and not coming from the back and just looking like it is leaking in the front.Has anyone else had issues getting a good seal between the brass fitting on the pex and the rubber hoses? Thought I had the leak fixed but found another puddle in the front.
Probably this. I finally had time yesterday to pretty much start over on the heat exchanger plumbing. I removed the pex lines and disconnected the hoses from the heat exchanger and at the engine. I noticed a little coolant and the engine end of the pex that apparantly dripped onto the brake line T and then ran along the bottom of the brake line to the front. That's why I couldn't see it in the tunnel before. When I reassembled, I connected the hoses to the pex lines first while I could ensure a good fit and tight clamps from hose to pex then connected the hoses to their respective components. I also removed the plastic 90s and reapplied teflon tape. If I get any more leaks in that system, it should be from the pex to hose connections now.The leak I had I thought was from the front, but it was actually in the rear and ran up the tunnel and out the front.

Shouldn’t be. It’s the stock pump and wiring, but I’ll double check.Did yo wire the intercooler pump backwards?
Yes, it’s low. And I purged as much air as I could from the system. It feels like it’s moving some coolant on the output hose but it doesn’t appear to be moving fluid when watching from an open fill cap. I suppose it could have some air trapped and be cavitation.I think the failure rate of the pumps is pretty high.
You do have the pump mounted low so will get coolant to start with? The pump isn’t self priming.
