I had a small leak on the top pipe on the bottle, cut some of the pipe off, problem solved.

Checked coolant level again this morning and the level doesn't appear to have dropped at all, and I cant see any obvious signs of leakage at the present moment.
So definitely taking the keep an eye on it route at the moment.
Its just frustrating that I know there may be an issue however its not showing itself at the moment.

Completed a 5000km oil and filter change today.
Completely cleaned area around the primary and secondary filters. Took Bessie for a drive. I still have the leak on that side of the engine.
It appears to be coming from the bottom of the Centrifugal filter housing. From reading there is an o-ring that goes flat on the housing. So am going to renew that and the gasket. While im around that area is there anything else that I should do while I have that area pulled apart?
By the way I had a look at this Oil Leak from Oil Cooler Gasket?.
Is it worth changing the oil cooler gasket.... just for the sake of it?
Cheers

I had to put a new gasket on my oil cooler because of a tiny coolant leak (thought it was the pump for a while). Not a five minute job. Give it a good degrease, run it and then "feel around" with some paper towel will show any fresh leaks.
Driving home from work tonight, I went over a bump and the 3 amigoes chimed in [bawl]
Unfortunately on switching off Bessie and switching her back on again, didnt reset them. They are still there.
Had the front RHS wheel sensor replaced a couple of months ago at TRS. so I am guessing im going back there in the next few days.
The life a a D2 owner..... always fun :)

Wait until you get a D3, you get the 3 amigos at a disco party with their friends.....Quote:

I have had the three amigos ever since I bought the car a few years ago. But as the slab computer is suspect not running the compressor etc I believe it is that and when I get some time and a few spare $ I'll get a replacement. However we hooked up the van and took off for a few weeks holiday and at the same time so did the three amigos only returning when we got home. What the.....
The The Three Amigos are telling you something. Buy a cheap, disposable Hyundai or Kia or Commodore or something for your daily "run around" car and only use the Disco for holidays...[bigsmile]Quote:
