Title: Water Leak!
Post by: dkw on 03 February 2012, 12:19: Hi all,

I've been having to top up the water on the golf slightly ever few days. Most days there is a wet patch under the car just to the inside of where the passenger front wheel sits but I can't for the life of me find where it's coming from! :huh: I took it to the tyre place recently to get the tracking checked and I got them to put it on the lift to find it for me but they can't find it either!

Any thoughts on potential leak points?

I had it spray me and my brother in the face , god, i couldn't see where it came from. :grin: i was changing the pcv pipes and removed a bolt that hold the breather pipe that goes to the rocker cover. When i pulled on a pipe on the front of the engine ,we got sprayed with hot red water. :laugh: my brother thought it came out the pipe i was pulling on for the pcv system. Man that was hard to work out what/where it came from. :evil: :rolleyes:
