Water leak
Hi all i have a 2001 wrx and have noticed a burning coolant smell for past few weeks. I noticed today that there is a leak coming from down below the throttle body. I cant see the pipe that is leaking all i can see is it dripping onto the top of the engine. Anyone know what pipe it could be or have also had this problem. Thanks

Coolant is run through the throttle body to prevent it icing up in extreme weather. It is only rubber hose so conceivable that it has perished. Plenty of people just re-route the pipework to take out that run - I've done it without any running issues.
