Help!!!! leaking coolant at the back of the motor?

[stick3]

we had the same problem with the vz it leaked coolant after the thermostat housing was replaced so took it back to the mechanic
he just re tighten the bolts he said if it still leaked he would have to replace a gasket which it didn t that was 7-8 years ago

Guarantee you its the spout seals at the front of the engine. They leak coolant into the valley which runs down the back of the motor.

hi guys ive had the thermostat housing replace as use know, i also have my water pump replaced and my water inlet rubbers replaced, still low coolant but not too low, my mechanic reckon its normal for the VE's coolant to sut low, is that true ? i dont wanna stuff my friggan car

you should see coolant when you unscrew the cap

Keep filling it - there will be small pockets of air that keep bleeding out due to having so many items replaced.
When I did my thermostat recently, it took me a week to get the system completely full again

More than likely strut mounts are knackered - easy fix tho.
