Sounds like it could be leaking from the intake gasket area, as they would have a crossover for the coolant to get to the other side of the engine. Or could be a crack in the intake manifold.
Or even a forgotten heater hose, or something simple like that.

I hope you looked at your new motor closley befor you installed it, normaly coolant leakes leave a trail down the block, usually a white powder substance. But this could be anything from a cracked block to a failed head gasket. I just hope that you may have forgetten to hoke up maby a small coolant hoes or something. Your next step is an autoparts stor and buy a telescoping inspection mirror, around 10 dollars, let it dry off and
start a visual inspection. at least it isn`t a wiring problem, but you should be able to find this fairly easy,rember water runs down from the top so work your way up. hope this helps

The leak into the spark plug nicely is brought about with the help of the "tube" seals. those at the instant are not consistently coated interior the valve cover gasket set. This job isn't the finest to do through fact the EGR pipe must be moved. On mine the bolts broke while i attempted to take it aside. yet once you may get previous that factor, from there on that is tremendously common. you will want a valve cover set, tube seals and a tube of RTV. If the leak is on the suitable suited component of the engine (passenger section) the EGR is not any difficulty. The gasket for the valve cover may well be ok, yet you will need new tube seals. i do in comparison to doing a job two times, so I merely get a sparkling set of valve cover gaskets and replace them without notice. might as nicely do all 4 on an identical section at as quickly as. I truthfully have considered mechanics attempt to apply RTV to seal this section extremely of changing the tube seals. It has not worked on those that I truthfully have worked on.

since it is a used motor, the block could be cracked making the motor useless
