I was going to reassemble the rear suspension today on Project Resurgam ... but ...
After discovering a small pool of coolant on the garage floor I went in from underneath and think it is leaking from here ... it's the junction at the back of the engine where the coolant pipe from the water pump meets the thermostat housing ... according to the drawing below it is sealed with an 'O' ring.
It's not too bad at the minute but I might as well get it done as it's on axle stands over winter.
Has anybody come across this or attempted to fix it?
I'm guessing the thermostat housing will have to come off to gain access ...
Part 15 is the thermostat housing and bolts onto the engine above the gearbox linkage cables and part 14 fits into the casting at the back of the water pump, hopefully it is only the 'O' ring, part 5 that has failed.
Any advice greatfully received and thanks for reading ...
Slight edit and another question ... is pipe 14 what others are calling the 'pipe of death?'
