    Default coolant dripping from sump?

    just noticed at the servo a few drips of coolant under the car so i had a look and its dripping from the drivers side front of the sump , any ideas where the leak may be?

    Yep, second that. Look directly below the pulley on the pump to see if there is any coolant there.

    thermostat housing leak could also run down to that point and drip off the sump.
