mr_ed 0 Posted January 12, 2009 I noticed a couple of days ago a very small leak in the head gasket( left hand side of the engine by the air box), to be honest it is more of a weep but it is still enough to get me thinking bad things :( Would there be any harm in running some kind of sealant through the cooling system to try and prevent it getting any worse? Has anyone got any experience of using this type of soloution? I fixed a head gasket leak on my old Scirocco but i appreciate that the VR6 engine is a bit different from my old 1.6GT Any help appreciated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted January 12, 2009 is it coolant or oil? Most weep a very small amount of oil from that side(throttle body side) due to the oil feed to the head,if its coolant it most likley be the head gasket. what sort of miles are on the motor>?

mr_ed 0 Posted January 12, 2009 Its Coolant, there is 122'000 on the clock but if memory serves me correctly it had a new head gasket at approx 80'000 I have not noticed any major coolant loss though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted January 12, 2009 if its just a minor weep then just keep an eye on levels,it might have been like that for some time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
