Leaky T25!

Post by griff488 »

Hi
My mate has a 1988 T25 with the 1.9 DG engine which has sprung a leak in an odd place.
It appears to be leaking from the exhaust mounting bolt hole in the head on the right handside (looking from the rear ) under the alternator. :( :?
It has had a new exhaust fitted recently and until then wasn't visably leaking. I've a feeling that it may have been leaking previously which caused the exhaust to rot away and at a cost of £200 for the new exhaust we need to sort this asap to prevent further damage! :shock:
It is not a small leak and when the engine is running it is flowing out quite quickly.
Does anyone know the possible cause of this?
Does anyone have or know where i can get an engine diagram/schematic from to try a see where this water is coming from?

Cheers Griff

Not sure mate but it would appear that too long a bolt has been used and cracked the water jacket. Dunno how i'm gonna seal this though!??!
