1.9 Petrol WB fluid leak - Wisdom needed!

Post by rfarey »

Hi All

I have noticed recently a few drips under the back of the van on the driveway. On investigating, it appears to be water rather than oil and is gathering on the two lowest points of the engine sump on one side of the engine. Are there any common issues that this would point towards just to accelerate my fault finding.

Thanks

Its probably the cylinder head water jacket seal weeping on that side, but there are a lot of hose connections so you will have to go looking.
