Appears my work firewall removed the pictures.

From memory when I did my timing belt, but you should be able to remove the condensor and lay it on the ground. I covered mine with a double thick piece of cardboard to protect it. Then you should be able to remove the radiatorhoses and then the radiator. I did not have time to look at what secures it tonight, but it should be obvious. Removing the front clip should not be required. Reverse, refill, "burp" it several times and you should be good to go.

And make sure you use G12 (pink) coolant.

Doubt that is the radiator. Leak in that area is usually something know as the "j-plug". I would start with that. There is a picture of it in the link below.

Just an update on this.

I replaced the radiator, seems the leak is gone.

However, i do get phatom smells of coolant at times, though I have checked well, and I dont see anything.

I wonder if it is normal to get some coolant smell.
