Coolant Leak?

[vwroyd]

Hi i have 2001 1.8T Sport and have discovered a slight coolant leak from the back of the engine, i think it is coming from just below the temperature sensor but can't be sure, has anyone ever had this fault before? if so what is the corrective action?

Any info would be gratefully received

Thanks:D

More than likley it will be the seal where the sensor sits, happened before to me, its hard to trace as there will be staining everywhere, but start with the seal.

If its from the block and plastic hose, easiest way with that is to remove and use some sealant of some type... or try for a new gasket.

Cheers Guys,
Rick T, Yes that seems exactly the place. It is what the temp sensor locates into. I have some pictures here if you can make them out! Do we know what it is called? or where i can get one? If i need one?
Thanks
