Hey Guys,
I just discovered I had anti-freeze in my throttle body boot. It was pure green anti-freeze. Not like it was mixed with oil. Collecting in the ribs of the boot. Is this normal. Any suggestions?


Thanks.

 

I don`t see how anti-freeze can get in the throttle body boot, usually if the intercooler is leaking the coolant ends up going through the motor but not into the intake boot?.

 

First off check your oil for it looking grey. Then check the coolant level. If they are both ok?

Then next I'd look at maybe somehow the de-gas container (right between the left head light and your intake/filter) is leaking and somehow the air inlet is sucking it up?

You may have a leaky intercooler.What year is your Lightning? If it is a leaky intercooler, coolant is collecting in your valley and could be being sucked up under boost into your plenum/boot.
