Yes, as you say, it's quite obvious if it's leaking,Quote:

Yes, you can see oil stains from these spots, yes, you can also see into the gap between the rad and cooler and even if the leak was from the front of the intercooler the oil stain would be obvious.
I don't understand the reluctance to just have a look.
Smoke machines have their place, I've used them to diagnose a myriad of TD/SDV6 issues ( and if you think it's too hard to pull an intercooler on a TD5, don't think about buying and DIYing an old D3/4 RRS.
You don't even need to drop the coolant or remove the radiator to replace the intercooler if you didn't want to.
A bit feedback. Since doing the washers and seals it’s running as it should. Hooray :-). The noise that sounds like a boost leak is in fact coming from a split catalytic converter. I have to say that putting in a decat pipe is not a heap of fun.
Good, you've found the source of the 'leaking' gas, planning to a decat delete soon..... having recently taken the dump pipe to get access to the clutch slave cylinder I know what you mean about how difficult it is to remove..... might just get a whole new exhaust set up done by the professionals.
