Hey Guys,

Me again, problem after problem it seems! I am now leaking coolant from another source. Can anyone tell me what is meant to be here? Its drivers side next to sump...(see pictures)

Long story short, 6 - 8 months ago, mechanic found a leak... received a call later "its fixed" I thought nothing of it. Had massive amounts of overheating problems recently and had to replace radiator and thermostat due to blockage, now I see this leak. Any ideas?

Thanks,

James

can you give a picture zoomed out and circle the area? I can't figure out where that is.

Then I'll go out and take a photo of mine..

pretty certain thats a casting hole when they cast the block to get rid of the casting sand.

Ive seen a few other threads regarding this leaking, with age it starts to leak.

Pull the plate off, cut a gasket or just use some good motorseal, etc and reseal it and it should fix the problem
