Need some help peeps

 

I have a water leak from what i think is the pass side intercooler, ive been lossing water for a few days and have spotted the leak, here's what im not sure about, I have no water at all in the expansion tank?? should there be??

 

the leak is coming from right in front of the pass wheel so its intercooler or split expansion tank???, im going to take a proper look at the weekend as i need to flush the system anyway. is this a common prob or could it be something more serious???

 

I have a proper coolant flush to run through th system and im going to use the red toyota coolant as ive always found this to be very good.

 

any hits or tips would be appreciated

 

cheers craig

well there is no water in the intercooler ;) sounds like its coming from the coolent tank, take the wheel off and remove the inner wing plastic and it will reveal the tank so fill it up again and see where abouts its leaking :)

cheers what i was wondering is what is the pipe the runs under the coolant tank as its soaked so i think its the expansion tank thats leaking onto it ??

could be just the hose split,or at worst the tank,cheap enought to replace 2nd hand though

Fairly common for the expansion tank to split ;)

Thanks guys as im still a newbie with this engine just about everything worries me when it goes wrong lol, i really should take it somewhere for a full check up and service
