Sometimes my car leaks water, other times it dosent.
Sometimes when i go out to it having been out during the day there is a puddle under it maybe up to 50mls.
Other days nothing at all.
The leak is running down the block/coming from the bottom of the a/c condenser if it drips onto that.
It is very difficult to see line of sight up from there or anywhere around that area. The drip would suggest somewhere in line with the thermostat housing.
It is not leaking from either the thermostat housing join where the thermostat fits, or the hose there or the temp sender.
However i note with interest that the thermostat housing has been attached to the block with some black gunk (possibly gutter sealant) in addition to the torx screws. I assume this is a water channel and therefore this is pointing at the problem eminating from here. How easy is it to change this part with alll the other ancilliaries in situ?
If it is not this - is there any other points that i should investigate?
