I've found a coolant leak on my 1.6FSI which appears to come from between the oil cooler pipe bracket and gearbox end of the block. The fluid is running down the engine side of the bracket (see photo, which shows red coolant on top of the bracket, below the edge of the exhaust heat shield). This is also the location of the end of the EGR pipe (036131521BN) and seal but I doubt this is the source of the leak(?). However, this is next-door to the coolant regulator block thing, a more likely source of the leak in my view, but there is no visible evidence of a leak there. Any ideas? I'm now terrified I've a cracked coolant regulator.
