So I've seafoamed before, and I've had no issues... but I've noticed this time around that after putting seafoam in the vacuum ports on each rotor (correct amounts) there are small droplets of seafoam liquid coming somewhere from just above the front brace bar underneath the engine. (and no, I did not spill it or anything of that sort)

Is this something I should be worried about?

From one of the ports in the manifold through which you add Seafoam maybe?

I had the same issue too I wonder what it was?

It's a very strange problem because there are no other leaks of any sort - oil, coolant, nothing!

All I can assume is that seafoam manages to seap through some of the seals... I'm just wondering if this is a common thing or if it's more of an isolated problem?

I think its either coming out from one of the breather hose or something like that.

I don't understand, how is this exactly a sign that my engine will be blown soon? There are absolutly no other fuels, oils, cooling, or anything else that's leaking... so if the vitals aren't going anywhere, why's is that a terrible sign?

Could there be a pin-hole in the delivery tube and some fluid squirted out?
When you removed the tube, did you let it hang downward so the remaining fluid in the tube just drained out?

it will flush through the engine and into the exhaust manifold/system. You may have a small leak at the exhaust manifold gasket. If you have a cat converter it should pour out the end of the exhaust manifold, assuming you were smart enough to unhook the cat pipe ....

I'm not entirely sure its coming from the exhaust, as it seemed to be coming more towards the center of the car (however, I do have a top mount turbo, so maybe you are still right about that?) It only leaked when when I crank it so the seafoam could get all around the engine...

Well I guess its nothing too serious? I hope anyway..

I saw seafoam leak from around the spark plugs on one car... and it was running like that!

LOL that would have tripped me out.

OP the fact that you have a turbo makes everything more complicated.

What do you mean by front brace bar? the cross member, strut bar, engine mount?

BlackStealth

iTrader: (3)

Yes, I do realise this - it was the front cross member. I don't have any other issues that I can see though, which is why it's a very curious issue...

Maybe they were smart enough to know seafoam does not clog cats.

+1, I've never "unhooked" a catalytic converter. We run the crap out of GM top engine cleaner, which is way more potent then seafoam and it hasn't caused any issues.
In fact we let it sit in the engines for 2-3 hours.

My last car I owned from new, at 115k miles I replaced the cat with a high flow one. The original cat seen at least 10 seafoam treatments and it looked perfect.
