Problem:  I noticed a this BUBBLING sound after turning my car off a few times now. the bubbling comes from around the thermostat housing in intervals. I got under the car and noticed this aluminium hose is leaking and has been for a while from the looks of it! its just above the fuel tank.. what is this pipe? best way to fix it? its obviously causing a tiny leak in my system, and making it bubble? Please let me know :)

Thats the pipe for the heater. Need to drop the tank to remove them.
You could just loop the two hoses on the motor till you fix it to stop it leaking

It's possible that the noise you are hearing is actually coming from the charcoal canister. It's normal for the charcoal canister to make a buzzing sound. If you hear the sound again, give the charcoal canister a tap on the side and see if the sound changes or goes away.
Of course it could be related to the cooling system, especially if you have found a leak, but it's worth checking this too :-)

Yes! I do hear that sound at times also, and it is from the charcoal canister. Question: the charcoal canister has a vacuum like line coming from the top of it. It was disconnected so I connected it to the Throttle body nipple. Is that OK??

Yeah the hose from the charcoal canister goes to the L-shaped nipple on the throtte body.

yep, agree, fix water leak first, as putting all that on will take some time... even though you said its 'bolts straight on'

Hmm, previous owner was a plumber? Maybe he wanted a blowoff valve for his blowoff valve.

MR2 Turbo SW20 - Sweet Little Ride - New Exhaust

OK! as my previous exhaust was too droney, and then I even replaced the mufflers for bigger ones and it was the same and sounded average.. I got real Angry and my Head started hurting and it actually made me hate the car... I decided to try something special and make my own pipes... The exhaust goes 3" into twin 2.5" and then I used three 1.15" pipes on each side, that narrows the flow... So in the end I did not use ANY MUFFLERS.... and it sounds absolutely beautiful, no drone, not too loud, TURBO SPOOL...

Who would leave a turbo kit in the middle of the highway?
