I'm sick & tired of "experts" predicting cancer & death from everything we do, eat, or drink. He's the newest..... anyone "binge drinking", this is now considered of anyone who drinks 4 standard drinks a day, now risk getting "alcohol cancer". Apparently, if you only drink 2 standard drinks a day, your safe. I think I'll stay in bed. The world has gone mad. Too many "experts".

Well I'm safe. I drink more than 4 standard drinks a day. Phew!

Finding some coolant under my car but i'll be stuffed if i can find where it's coming from (yes i know.. the cooling system) Looks like it's leaking out of the chassis rail.

Tell me about it. I'm losing coolant but stuffed if I can find where it's going. I only know because the low coolant alarm will annoy the shite outta me every few days.

Check out the front cover on the engine (behind the alt).. they seem to leak a fair bit on a CRD if that is what you have... I guess any ZD30.. They leak when cold it seems.. Plenty of people have told me that is my issue but it's not.

Found it.. small crack in the tank that was hidden by the hose..

Hey mate is yours a 3L CRD? They have a common front timing cover coolant leak. Mine had it. And it was a bitch to diagnose !

I don't think this is your issue.... BUT ....
When you said, that today it all dried up, I brought back memories for me. lol
Basically, when motor is running / hot, no leak.... If i sat the car untouched for a day or so, leak appeared. Basic theory, when motor heats up, metal expands, sandwiching the timing cover. Motor cools down for a lengthy period, metal shrinks, small leak occurs.

Mine mostly accumulated at the bottom near the A/C. But sometimes I found it sitting under the passenger front chassis. Later on I realized it was making its way along one of the hoses and down onto the chassis.

Here is more threads on it...

Hodge, same problem here 08 CRD. Noticed it approx 4-5 yrs back, coming from behind timing cover at the top of mating face against eng block. Travels down thru and drips off below A/C unit, onto front axle/diff housing and then to ground. Appears approx 36 hrs after veh sitting (mainly in colder months). If driven daily probable would go unnoticed. Cause, yes, dissimilar metals either side of gasket (different expansion / contraction rates), metal gasket cannot accommodate separation and then leak occurs. Think they use a flexible gasket material now (silicon or polyurethane, not sure)

I torqued up the bolts, put a mild solution of stop leak thru, stopped after 6 mths and now only leaks occasionally. I just keep an eye on it as do not loose much coolant (approx 20ml / mth), just annoying.

What did you end up doing or did it take up overtime?

ET, for info before I tried repair (timing cover leak), probable lost 100ml over a two week period, but mainly in colder months. Could go 3 wks and loose none. Was not consistent with my issue.

Not happy Jan, my turn to rant!!!

Just bought a bottle of Jacobs Creek Shiraz, got home and It's vinegar!

Can I throw this back at my local IGA for a refund or is it suck it up princess?

Pretty pissed right now, I was looking forward to that tonight, sad panda!!!
