Marconeill1982 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 My car was started to over heat today, when I looked on the ground I found a small leak coming from under the car. It had no coolant in so I topped it up and found the leak coming from here ( please see pictures ) If anyone has any suggestions I would be greatfull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 thermostat housing then, known issue, well that what im guessing without actually looking at it, it involves removing alternator belt, alternator, then you can access housing, 2 coolant hoses off, 4 housing bolts. if your upfor doing that .
