water leak on ABF from rear of Engine!!
« on: 28 June 2009, 11:19 »
just started my mk2 ABF after 7-8 months, the harsh winter and now hot days have perished something, I seem to have a wate leak somwhere round the rear of the engine.

Its not coming from the flanges on the side, if i look from the top , i can see it gushing out from the rear but cant get a good enough view to see exactly from where.

any ideas?
