Default Chargecooler leaking
In the main section, where the water is held/and boost passes. Very minor leak, if any..

Is it repairable? Or is the whole unit dead now? Its only a very faint leak, so would it do any damage.

Chargecoolers are pants, simple as! Don't bother repairing it, more trouble than their worth. Just go for a simple, more efficiant air to air system. You know it makes sense!

But, if you want to sell it on, I have some spare Focus RS chargecooler bits here you can have to fix the problem
