Coolant leak CRD 3.0L

[Hodge]

Hodge, how did you go with the leak? Mine has got worse in the past month, car sat for 2 weeks and emptied the overflow bottle this time.

Hi mate. I think mines not any worse than it was before. I haven't noticed any leaking for a few weeks now. Sometimes I can smell the coolant although cannot see anything from that area. I'm still keeping an eye out on it though. Ever since I've noticed this almost a year ago, coolant level hasn't changed at all. So when mine does leak, it is minimal.

My car was at nissan for a service last week, and I asked them just to have a quick look and they couldn't spot anything. But the bloke did tell me it is common for the 3L Di's to leak from there, behind the timing cover. He hasn't seen any CRD's do it yet, but there is always a first. Knowing my luck it will be mine.
