I just found out something over the short vacation I had and a visit to the local German Auto repair in my area. I thought that the coolent was leaking from cracks under the sparkplug holes on the heads. According to this mechanic, those cracks cannot leak. Is this correct? If that is the case, then I would suspect the head bolt. Both are right at that spot. Maybe this has been my leaking problem all the time. Any inputs appreciated. William |
