without removing the engine. Some of the hoses are more difficult to
get to then others, but you can get to all of them. It is best to have
a lift or put the car on jack stands to get the ones under the car.
There are 15 or 16 hoses on the Delorean ( I loose count ). It will be
best to replace all the hoses. The hoses are offered in a kit from your
friendly Delorean part suppliers.

although it is true the engine does not need to be removed
tou will need to disassemble the top of it to get to
the hoses behind the water pump.Also check the "o" rings
under the water distribution pipe. Before you reassemble
the engine pressure test to 10-12 psiat least for 15 min >
