you can see where its coming up from that hose its all discoloured.
You need to either tighten or replace that clamp,
blow up the pic you'll see what I mean

Tell me about it. It's annoying. As per one of my earlier posts, it seems like it's leaking overnight, during warmer weather, as it hasn't leaked at all during winter, and its leaking now with the warm weather coming back and the last time i noticed it was last summer.Originally Posted by threedogs

Just had another quick look and no leaks. But realized something else. I don't know why I thought the water pump fits on top of the timing cover, which is why I thought the coolant is leaking from between the timing cover and block. But they are separate items, as per this pic.
I hope this eliminates the potential to be the timing cover.

you will see in the pic that Hodge put up right behind the red line a small 2 bolt flange thats for coolant hoses/heater hoses will be coming from their, will only leak when its cold cause it retracts then swells when its hot, will either be the gasket or one of the hose clamps.
Thanks mate. It hasn't done it for a few days now, so hard to diagnose further. Will be looking into this area.

I've got the same issue leaking in the same area. If I top up the coolant bottle it seems to leak until it gets to the low mark then stops and only when it's cold.

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.
