Hi I spotted evidence of coolant on the right side of the rocker cover tray. No evidence of any leaking hoses or flanges. Cleaned it up, topped up the expansion bottle (blue cap) drove 90 miles, and again, coolant was in the same spot. Cap + thermostat are new. Could it be a worn 'O' ring (below) spraying out a bit of coolant and collects on the rocker cover? https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/t3-parts/engine/diesel-cs-ky-jx/t3-diesel-cooling/seal-vw-diesel-water-pump-to-block-and-thermostat.html Or, somewhere else? Thanks |

T3 1.6TD Coolant loss
Unable to post a pic! If you look down behind the alternator and look left there is a metal cover. So the coolant collects there and a bit is also under the 2 hoses below the alternator. |
