Small Leak

Post by HeavyPetal » Thu Jul 23, 2015 10:51 pm

Hi everyone

Hoping for a bit of guidance on a small leak under the van that we noticed this week. It looks like water but feels little sticky/oily. I got underneath and it seems to be coming from a black rubber pipe on the passenger side just behind the front seat, dead in line with the sliding door front pillar. Having looked at the various diagrams on here I can't decide if it's part of the heating system so thought I would post a couple of picspics to see if anyone had any ideas before I trundle off to the garage. The van has a low coolant alarm but I am still a bit nervous!

We've now tried that by editing them, but the links still didn't work, so removed edits.

thanks ian, the leak looks like its on the rear rubber heater pipe, what colour is your coolant.
the metal pipe next to it is aircon, this contains oil.
