Check it isn't #1 injector leak-off pipe first.

If the top seal is leaking do the both top seals and the header seal as they'll soon follow suit

Thanks Datatek, Will do.. yes that's where I'd like to see the drip coming from inevitably.... Titch

I shall spend time over the weekend to check.. thanks for the 'encouragement' .. ( or hopes), I've got a lot of tidying up to do out there.... Titch

Hi Folks, as my title suggests.. another 'issue' has evolved. Does anyone have any ideas on who could/would look at this for me possibly..? near to Stafford really?? Titch

We were lucky! But very carefully to be safe..... I am glad we shall be using the oil cooler though obviously. How this 'upset' was created was from the water pump shaft actually 'snapping' off.. You can imagine the destruction caused, hence...

Thanks chaps! That's the way I'm going I think.. I was concerned how much 'pressure' was in the pipelines, but considered that it can't be excessive as there's rubber used anyway.. then I can still use the cooler of course and as Datatek says...

Or failing this, what's anyone's thoughts on bypassing the oil cooler altogether.. even if it's only for a short period?? I know it's an auto, but I wouldn't be doing high/fast motorway mileage nor indeed towing heavy trailers?? Thoughts...

Hi Folks, as my title suggests.. but, I'm struggling to work out how to thread the actual pipes to the Autobox itself..?? very little movement of the steel pipe making it difficult to thread them through alongside (underneath) the actual engine...
