The coolant leak is on the drive side just in front of and below the AC pump.  The large hose goes to that cylinder #4 I think. Left side closest to the rear off the engine.
The engine is a WBX 2.2 GOWESTY about 10000 miles on it

Did a pressure test on the coolant system using GOWESTY's pump. At 12 psi a hose on the left side of the engine started to leak. Now have to order a replacement for it. So much for "Westy's by the River" next week in Vermont. I was looking forward to meeting some of our list members.
