Had to bite the bullet and buy a new tank and perform the 'knuckle buster' job of replacing the tank...no more smell, no more leaks.

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.

13 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 1 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Not the water pump, the water seems to run down the muffler and drop from there, common causes? Expansion tank?

POST 2Original post

Sounds like expansion tank. Has it ever been replaced? Not to hard to do although the early tanks are rather expensive for what they are.

POST 3Original post

Maybe just a leaking cap! Try a new one first.

POST 5Original post

If its leaking above the drivers side muffler the tank is cracked and leaking from the heat. Get it fixed quick before it gets worse.

POST 6Original post

+1 on checking the cap first. If the cap fails, it leaks in the same place described. Start with the simplest thing first...

POST 7Original post

If the cap is leaking it will probably have some crud on it and look something like this. The part number is at rev 4 or 5 now. If yours ends in 1 you should replace it anyway.

POST 8Original post

I replaced the cap first as suggested, didn't work for me. Had to bite the bullet and buy a new tank and perform the 'knuckle buster' job of replacing the tank...no more smell, no more leaks.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the feedback,. the cap does have crud on it, its a 2001 so Im guessing its the later version tank. Suncoast here we come!

POST 11Original post

Water tank? I thought Suncoast doesn't ship overseas? I always shop at Design911 or 911uk.

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yup I have had a few deliveries from them, last one was just last week...

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So a couple of days ago I topped up the water, and since then, I have had no water leaks? This is weird.
