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
Mitchell
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
Barry,
