New to LVC 2006 Lincoln LS cooling questions.

Why is your bleed hose attached to the degas bottle where the return line should be be clamped? ...

Like so,




Disconnect the engine vent hose, and separate the air bleed hose from the degas bottle.

~ On the back of his, you can see his return line goes to the blank nipple.
* Good suspicion his return line is causing his behind the wheel leakage.

Nice catch Big Rig!!! I didn't see that from the pics until you mentioned it. Actually... I still don't from the angle of the OP's pic.

Actually 02Linc noticed it, I just provided a sample pic of how it should be connected and elaborated on the OPs return line seems to be running towards the blank nipple. Can't tell 100% for sure, would need a pic from a further upward angle like the pic I suplied. But with all plastics on this car it's still most likely pissing out from cracks in the degas bottle. Worth a shot though to check where that return line is hooked up or at all. Certainly would explain the behind the drivers front wheel leak.
