coolant leak traced around oil filter

Post by caldridge7 »

Hi guys I have a rev 1 turbo.

Today has not been a good day... Driving to work with no heaters working and car going to hot on the temperature gauge when I accelerate... Once I had finished work and got it home I decided to refill the coolant again and could hear water dripping on the floor,

So far I know that it leaks all over the back of the sump and the closest I have got to finding the leak is I can see dripping behind the oil filter area...

Please help!! Need pics anything that could help find out what this is... Car is now undrivable

Umm seems that you might be wrong... Was able to see the hfh and it's dry it's coming from under the thermostat... Wonder is a core plug has cracked...
