Where's it coming out of? behind the pully or where it goes on the block?
I've got one on eBay for sale but if it the gasket I've got some paste to fix that
thinking about it its not summit silly like have you done the jubilee clips up on the thermostat housing etc?

Progress has been abit slow last couple of months but ive sorted the brakes,managed to get the fans working and have replaced lower part of dash with better one as mine had all holes on side where someone in past had mounted a mobile phone it would seem.
bought a set of 17x8 comp mo's in satin black
just couldnt resist them was sad to see the rl7's go but couldnt aford to hang on to both sets.What do you think of them? i reckon they just finish the car now
will get better pics when i take her out and better weather hopefully,need to sort mot out now
