dooroy Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I have a 2001 Td5 with 190K on the clock and it is losing a small amount of coolant . When I look down behind the air con compressor there is a small area of damp near the base of the centrifugal filter housing . But I wonder if the leak is coming from somewhere else as I can't see any anything at that point which would have coolant going through it ???? Any ideas /suggestions welcome .

K88 MUD Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 First guess as its a common place is just behind the centre of the exhaust manifold on the cylinder head......there is a large 1" dia plug with an allen key type head. Common place and not to bad to remove and clean/reseal and replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerdog36! Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Mine leaked from the back of the water pump, there are 4 torx heads, just cranked them down a bit and it stopped, but now it leaks from the crack in the radiator!!!

dooroy Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 There is a part attached to the head which looks like a manifold but of course the manifold is on the other side . Seems to be a little coolant seeping from under this at one end . Will see if I can find a pic of the engine and maybe identify this part . Haven't managed to se the large diameter plug yet but will keep looking . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
