Rear crankshaft seal
Well i was looking under the car today and noticed what looked like coolant coming from around the rear crankshaft seal/housing.... it only looks like a very slow seep coming out the bottom, The question is can temporarily i seal up where its leaking from and not have to change the seal.... as i said it only looks like a very tiny/slow leak.... im going for a roadworthy on Friday.
Cheers
You need to check your coolant and heater hoses, particularly where they go into the heater valve assembly.
it doesn't look like it dripping down from somewhere else, its leaking down onto the plastic transmission black housing looking thing lol that cover what ever its called... but yeah it looks like its coming from a seal somewhere, i've seen oil leak under cars from seals but not coolant, ill deff check the heater valve tomorrow just in case, but any other ideas???

It may well be the expansion or welsch plug at the rear of the engine block. They can rust out if the correct coolant has not been used and need either engine or transmission removal to fix. It may also be the inlet manifold leaking coolant which is not as big a drama to fix.
However, as you have a roadworthy soon, I'd throw in a can of stop leak (get a better brand) and then after the roadworthy decide whether to fix or whatever.

go and grab 3 cooling system pellets from Holden and put them in or some kind of stop leak from super cheap and see if it fixes the problem for the time being.
