    Coolant leak at fuel thingo ?

    I've located a coolant leak coming from the rear of the cylinder shaped thing (fuel cooler or heater ?) that's on the drivers side of the engine bay which parallel to the engine. Before I start dismantling things to pinpoint the leak is there anything that I should be wary of and are leaks at this part of the engine a common occurrence ?. .

    Thanks,
    Anthony.

    Do a search for 'Fuel Cooler leaks'

    You'll find numerous posts giving necessary 'O' ring type and size plus a bit of discussion regarding the 'hose' clamps on each end.

    Is your reservoir pressurised on a cold start after revving a little before the coolant is up to temp? If so this could be the first sign of a head gasket failure. If so you should still change the o rings on the fuel cooler anyway. If you are unsure get the car to a dyno at a LR specialist for a check.

    This was the first sign I had that the cooling system was getting pressurized from the head gasket leak.
