    There's a plate on the right hand side of the block that has a habit of leaking. Hard to get to but apparently if the starter is removed, it can be pulled off, sealed and done back up again. Might be worth looking with a torch and mirror.

    Ok thanks for the advice all.. So I filled it up with water n turned it on.. Found the leak straight away at the left hand side at the back of the engine there is a metal(guessing copper) pipe around 16mm thick with a nut fitting on the end going into the engine with a small say 6mm pipe coming off that metal pipe for a hose clamp connection that smaller pipe has bent n come away from the larger pipe starting to rip off..

    Can't put some silver flakes in it to stop leak untill a more permanent solution can be found??.
    Don't use Chemiweld unless you're selling

    Growler or one of the Q boys might know that one

    Sorry for the high jack, but why do people insist on using chemiweld only when selling a car? I'd much prefer to see a leak when buying a car as opposed to finding it reappear when heading on a long trip.

    Because people are less likely to buy a car with a coolant leak and chemiweld is a cheap quick fix.

    It's a dodgy cheap fix to mask a problem.

    Tb42e overheating and hissing

    Hence i dont like buying second hand cars lol.

    The plate can be done with the starter still on.

    That pipe, the big end goes to the heater hose and that pipe thats broken on yours is a water feed to the gas convertor on mine.

    Would be best to remove and braise.
