Hay guys,

Got a problem - seems my coolent bleed bolt (one in the preum) is leaking :b:

I just replaced the bolt and now its leaking - possably the wrong bolt, or maybe the treads damaged????

Some help would be could - even a short tearm fix to stop the thing pissing out coolent :mad:

Chears, Neil :D

take the bolt out and wrap plumbers tape around it and screw it back in its a temp fix but will stop the leak
