Hi All,
After a bit of advice/direction.
Been searching for a coolant leak for some time now as I noticed a small puddle on the garage floor and then a drip coming from the rear casing of the engine adjacent to the gearbox hosing.
I checked the coolant level in the reservoir and noticed it had dropped. I then checked all the hoses and connections around the area, ran the engine up to temperature but found nothing.
After several failed attempts I decided to have one final look before admitting defeat and taking to the local garage to investigate.
After running the engine up to temperature and thoroughly checking under the car again i found a damp patch around what I've since found out is described as an "Engine Cover Plate"
Position 15. Part number - 996-101-216-51. Lid
Position 16. Part number - 996-101-336-50. Gasket
This has a gasket behind, which if the culprit will need replacing.
However, before I go steaming ahead and drain the coolant and remove the plate, I wondered whether anyone else had experienced the same failure and/or confirm this is actually a plate covering a water way?
What is the cover for? Is it an inspection plate?
Hopefully attachments come out ok.
Thanks in advance.
