AEBlessed (1.8G)

I am losing coolant at a pretty slow rate, it keeps puddling up at idle and continues to drip after I park the car. I cannot find where the leak is coming from, I have looked under the car and there is no evidence of the leak coming from the turbo inlet/outlet or block. This is starting to irritate me, any help would be appreciated.

Coolant flange at the top back of the head or oil cooler hoses.

.You have external one, since you are AEB. I've had the same symptoms. Go under the car and take a close look at a WP.

Might as well be coolant temp sensor or the flange itself

oil cooler, cracked coolant tank are other areas to inspect.

Front of transmission = back of engine. Water pump is at the front of the engine.

Thanks for the insight, I dont think it the coolant tank or oil cooler, where is the coolant flange?

WJM

Follow the coolant pipe that runs from the radiator over the intake manifold
