Found my leak - how bad?

Well - i have had a leak for a while now and finally found it

Not bad - maybe 250ml every 1000kms
More of a heavy weep than anythig

It appears to be the top stud/elbow flange on the right hand head - well more water jacket
It is below the alternator and above the oil inlet
The pipecomes/goes to the water pump

I am hoping it is just the gasket but i am going away next Sunday and dont want to go stuffing it before i go away

Besides being in a bitch of a place and other comments?
Do these flanges crack?
Is it the stud?
Does the head/jacket bit crack??

Here are some pics

Yes
Yes
and Yes !

Its stuffed mate get Andrew to help find a Subi for it!
LOL

not bloody likely 😘

It just sounds like the gasket needs replacing, I wouldn't worry too much.

OK - turns out the "bit" is plastic and cracking is a common problem

Sounds like a simple replacement jobbie

Except all the shop are closed
Araldite will suffice till we get back from Byron

not all the shops are closed 9789-1777


It will be under pressure so it will probally burts on the way up to Byron
especially if you push it and its a nice HOT day

simple remove and replace and check the fluid level
