Coolant leak; parts guidance

Post by Regadge » Tue May 24, 2022 3:39 pm

Hello Bongonauts,

My dear rust-bucket has sprung a leak and I fear a decommissioning is imminent. I have located what I hope is the (only) source and attached pics of culprit. Does anyone know what the pipe is and if it is a simple fix? Passenger side of a '96 Friendee.

Thank you

Thanks g8dhe, that's a good start, albeit fairly mind bending :D

Is the pipe that goes to steel then the bottom of the turbo.
Looking at the pipe that goes from just under the bleed pipe, ( top left in pic 1) to the turbo, that looks a bit suspect as it's discoloured .
