Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Can you upload a pic? There are a few core plugs dotted around the engine that close off coolant and oil galleries; maybe one of them has given up?

You are correct that is the Coolant gallery drain bung; the aluminium sealing washer corrodes and then the leak starts - the residue is dried Coolant; it crystalizes as the liquid evaporates. A drain and fill will be required - generally the sealing face needs a good clean as corrosion can occur under the washer too - a deft hand with a new bung and washer can be a quick fix but it can get messy very quickly. Do not be tempted to remove the bung with any heat in the engine.
