coolant drip
« on: November 08, 2011, 10:31:52 AM »
hi all,

My Bis has a drip coming from a small slot towards the engine from the coolant pump and thermostat.

i have taken off the thermostat housing and replaced both gaskets but still have the drip.

Exactly the same with mine. Also have a coolant leak at the inlet manifold that is still there after attempting to fix it.

Cheers pete, will check to see if that is where mine is leaking from. Had all of that off when I changed the sump a couple of weeks ago!
 Handy tips for filling water system as well, been scratching my head on that one since I got it.
