i have a water leak its right at the top of the engine on the same side as the battery at first i thought it was te matrix pipes but its on the other side of the engine and its only squirting out a little bit and aint usin much water and it only does it for about 2 minutes then stops competely till the next day does anyone have any ideas on the pipes that sit at the top on the passanger side cos its startin to p**s me off now :smw:

I had the same thing, done mine yesterday, mine was from the water pipe that goes to the passanger side turbo, but then i got a plenum by pass so was easy to find as its the only water pipe that side

 

see if this helps

i forgot to mention, its right at the back of the engine and ya cant see where its comin from at all unless you have a head the size of a golf ball lol

it will be the little ******* running down the back of the bellhousing about 6" long and is a **** to do! LOL

 

it feeds the NS turbo best way is from below, use a long pair of thin nose forceps to grip on to the the metal clamps, fiddly but doable with plenum on just be patient
