can you not take off the engine cover for a better look? is it the pipe thats split or the temp sender seal?

itll not be any in the first link you put up as there all breather pipes, an i THINK that all the parts on that pipe come as a unit (20) think thats why there in brackets

the green plug is the temp sender, theres a plastic collar you pull out to remove it, get a new seal and collar if its leaking

Its actually the black plastic pipe that's split that the temp sender is sitting in

Snap, had this on our AUM last year.  Coolant flange.  This is a common problem....  The o-ring that seals it to the head degrades from the heat and starts to leak. 

Flange 06A121132AP (£12)

Drain the coolant.  Get the battery and airbox etc out.  Its kinda fiddly as the access aint great.  If you had it in mind to delete the SAI combi-valve etc its a good time to do it with this lot off.

Make sure you clean the head up real well before re-fitting the new flange  :wink:
