rodney 17 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Ok so I've been hunting my coolant leak and today I found it..the area in question is on the right hand side of the engine and is below the collection of wires that are on that top corner...There are a mass of pipes linking in... There is a short what looks like metal pipe dropping vertically and below this 2inch lenght of pipe I have my leak.... I will hopefully add a couple of photos. one to show where it is below and second showing the leak..the pipe on the right white colour is vertical just my picture wouldn't rotate.. and you can see the wetness[lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1170616278_4100_FT0_leak.jpg][/lightbox]this is the to of the engine and you can see the same whitepipe dropping down...[lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1170616278_4100_FT0_top.jpg][/lightbox]thanks chaps Link to post Share on other sites
