enots Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 As above!cara pretty much done i just need to geg my alignment done for japfest saturday but i have a small waterleak from behind the engine. Literally a drip but it soon pools up on the floor anyone have any ideas where too look?is driving me insane now lol I've checked the hoses running to the waterpump they seem to be fine.one of the ones from the thermo to the throttle body was leaking I've sorted that one and I'm still getting a drip from somewhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 There is a rubber O ring on the metal pipe which goes into the waterpump, this can split and cause a leak.Also pipes on the back of the inlet.Also between the inlet and the head itself, there is a waterway at cylinder 1Can get coolant dripping from the thermostat housing aswell at the top of the gearbox.Heater matrix pipes too.

RobSR Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Like mentioned its usually the back of the water pump where it meets the block. When I've built engines I've just used an instant gasket material in there instead and never had an issue. Edited May 12, 2015 by RobSR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
