Brown coolant, not from radiator, seems to be leaking from under air intake. Not leaking from hoses, but from the metal part connecting the hoses. Put in stop leak, but seems to not work, yet. Hole is very small, about size of a toothpick.

Hello again,

Okay, this looks like your thermostat housing gasket has failed. In the diagrams down below I have included the instructions for the removal and installation of your vehicle's thermostat, which you will want to change anyway since you are going to be there anyway. Please go through this guide and get back to us with how everything turns out please.

Thanks,
Alex
