will need to pressure test the cooling system. if you can get your hands on one top up the radiator and see how you go

Manifold off. When one goes, the rest aren't far off.

you mean rhs, when explaining a problem you ALWAYS go by the side it would be on if you were sitting in the drivers seat.. Not standing at the front of the car looking under the bonnet

done plenty of hoses on RB20's, they are a CUUUNNNNTTT. Very fiddly.

Im going to stab at its probably one of the two i have circled

also sometimes the small hose the back of the cylinder head can leak, but usually the one that goes on the block near the starter motor goes first.

Seriously.. replace them all and replace the hose clamps. It will cost you about 4-500 bucks in hoses to do them ALL with genuine ones, but seriously it will be worth it. You will be forever replacing them otherwise

Manifold off is the easiest way to do it if you're doing them all.

sweeet, ill be getting straight on this tomorow. really sucks when you pull up at whitfords after driving from ballajurra and theres coolant all over the floor.

try heater hose.. mine was split and only leaked once the car was off and pressure/heat expanded the split

I've done the 2 under the intake manifold and they are seriously a bitch to do with the manifold still on. Still probably quicker though with it still attached to the motor, just 5 times more painful lol. Couldn't even see what I was doing. All done through feel... You gotta feel it all up under there :p.

yeah i did it with the mani on 2 pain in the anoos.
