Coolant leak

[Jake96]

Could anyone help me out, took my 2008 v6 ve to a mechanic shop because I have a bad idle, they looked over it and told me that my engine mounts a rooted and need replacing, while looking they reckon they also found I have a coolant leak coming from the 'filler housing' I have no idea what a filler housing is, they reckon it's going to cost from $550 - $600 to fix can anyone explain where the filler housing is and if it would cost that much to fix and is it a serious leak I should get fixed asap? Cheers

There is a good coverage of this being repaired on Youtube.
Have U removed the filler cap lately?
If she's done a few ks then the chances of the cap being in 2 pieces are pretty high.

Does the $600 include engine mounts? That would be ok but if it's just for the filler neck that's a joke. The neck is about $120 online plus 1 hour to fit and a few o rings.

You dont even replace the filler neck, lossen intake manifold bolts so you can lift it up, undo the two 10mm bolts and replace O ring and the seal. 10min job.

Is there really any point in posting this question in 2 areas ?
