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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok so I started getting a few drips of coolant under the car. Most were due to needing to replace Coolant tank - Done. What I noticed after the job was done is that there was still a very slight leak at the bottom of the circle area, where the plate meets the housing. It is only at the bottom seem. It is completely dry above this area and I see no leakage from the Oil cooler. What is happening behind that plate that there is coolant there?
