Correct. Theres an o-ring that seals it. It gets squashed and hard. Starts leaking. Runs along the edge of the head under the intake and then out the back of the motor.Hi,
Is it possible for the coolant to leak where the filler neck joins the motor, I've been able to have a quick look between rain showers and I think it might be coming from around that area and going along the top of the engine between the rocker covers towards the back and onto where the thermostat is, there's also coolant on the front of the engine above the the water pump, is the filler neck held on with bolts and a gasket ?,
Any advice would be very much appreciated,
Thankyou
This is where it can get hard picking between a leaf g thermostat housing or a leaking filler pipe/housing.
Thankfully removing the intake plenum takes minutes and the filler easily inspected.
@krusing Has had issues where the pipes connect to the thermostat housing leak, which is right at the spot the coolant can dribble onto as well.
