I have a 1990 240 that just developed a coolant leak
It is by the firewall. I saw some coolant on the closest injector and some on the firewall.
I am assuming it is a heater hose but they look like a giant pain to get to.

What do I need to remove to get back there? it looks like I need to pull the fuel system. Yes no?
I cannot even find any decent pictures of this area on the net.

I am not afraid to do the work but I need some direction??!!

its just a pair of bent hoses between the engine and the firewall, with hose clamps on each end of each hoses. the upper hose connects to the head just under intake manifold port 4, the lower one connects to the pipe that snakes around the engine and goes into the water pump.

yeah, its a bit of a pain to get back in there between the head and firewall, but its doable. the other end that connects to the pipes in the firewall on my 87, at least, is readily accessible.
