Water leak from >>>>

Can you tell whether the pipe has actually corroded? Its sealed with a rubber O ring, which might just need replacing and can still be sourced from VW (just ordered one myself as I'm having to replace my water pump and want all new seals). Otherwise I suspect the pipe itself is obsolete - any of the traders confirm that? - in which case put up a wanted add or hit the breakers.

At the moment the pipe is still in situ so I can not tell if it is corroded.
Away to Saltney tomorrow to have it looked at.
Fingers are now well croosed lol
