if the o rings are faulty will coolant leak into the engine bay valley? If it's a slow leak or do I have a bigger problem?
Already checked the thermostat which seems fine
Help!!!

Got no pics but took it to the mechanic and he thought it was the thermostat but once looking into it figured out that wasn't the issue
Saw a bubbling where the o rings sit
Was about 3mm of coolant in the engine valley which is a fair bit
Just trying to get other ppls opinion..

There have been posts here before if coolant from the front o Rings running backward through the valley. It just depends exactly where the leak is. If there are bubbles coming out something not right so I'd be fixing those front seals first up.
