I am reposting....since the new year has denied a reply to my old thread of Nov 12.

Anyhoo...I am having sparks emit from the exhaust side of the manifold and a heavy clicking noise - metal on metal sound, sort of. From a previous suggestion, I checked things more closely in the dark. What I am seeing isn't blue in nature like from the wires. It's more like flicks of orange, whispy-like, if that makes sense. I believe the gaskets on the exhaust are bad so I ordered some new. Since it's a turbo, I started draining the coolant to remove it all out of the way (I need to replace the PS pump.) The coolant is tea colored!!

Anyone ever see that??

Thanks!
