Water leak on my g60

[rmn 0]

i am having a strange problem, its a water leak that has just started

its coming from the outpit side of the charger, but it only happens when its hot, i have yet to do some stripping of the car and see what the problem is.

i am just wondering if its a common fault, like the vr6 housing?

Any help appreciated, i would love it to be simple, but i know it wont be :(

thanks

water coming out of the charger?? there is no water feed to the charger so the problem has to be before the charger or from the boost return

check your oil for water contamination and water for oil contamination

sounds like the plastic flange on the front of the block to me... that's the common place for waterleaks, but it's also worth checking the waterhoses which connect to it too... 8)

 

If it is the black plastic flange, then do the one on the right hand side of the head while you're changing it, else you'll have to do it not long after as the increased pressure will cause the seal in that one to leak! :roll:

Have a look HERE and see if it's the same leak as I'm on about... 8)

If it is the picture Henny is showing ya make sure you get an extra blocking plug as the flanges now have 3 sender points.
