Returned home after a long 4wd through the scenic rim to discover a Antifreeze leak down left side(drips running down left chassis frame) over oil/fuel heat exchanger. Has anyone else had a leak in this area. I'm thinking the best way to determine which hose/fitting is to remove the left wheel and plastic inner arch wheel shroud. Bloody lucky as drove for about 4 Hrs didn't see another soul on Barlows gate Rd.
Any tips greatly appreciated.

If by left side you mean passenger, are there any green leaks along the hoses running from the radiator to the heater and then back to radiator? I had one there once back near the firewall, just before the heater.

Yes, that’s the area. I’ll check it all out thismorning.

There is a white plastic tap fitting back near the firewall high up on the passenger side, with hoses running to and from it.

Thankfully / unfortunately it wasn't that. It turned out to be the hose which runs from the thermostat back to a three way junction.$142.0 and have to wait for it to arrive from Melbourne.

New hose,all done. Picked up a pair of hoseclip pliers, Ooooh, how good are they! I got the ones with the flexible line,.....they made the job %200 quicker(ok I might be exagerating but that's my level of excitement).
