After fixing my leaking water pump, I noticed minor coolant loss from the left side of the engine. This has got worse, and although I have repaired the core plug which was leaking, there is now anotehr more major leak.
Opening the bonnet after a run, coolant is dripping from a hose pipe that goes from the heater matrix to the thermostat housing. Burning coolant smell always rings alarm bells after my valver blew the HG :(
My fears are that the head gasket is allowing water to leak out of the back of the block. A small amount of coolant can be seen on the back of the block but it could be getting there due to pressurised water spraying onto it... Or it could just be a corroded thermo housing or damaged pipe. Or it could just need the thermohousing resetting and new gasket sealent putting in.
So anyone else had coolant dripping from this pipe before and what was the solution?
