Coolant leak.

Post by cjb1971 »

1 litre non turbo engine with a coolant leak.
Evidence of water at bottom of the plastic cover circled in pic,top rest of engine, passenger side.
Is this a common place for a leak and what is it remedy, new gasket or component?
Thx.

Water pump/Thermostat housing -- a very common problem
