Hi
Add your location in your user CP
I'm hoping that it's something simple like a turbo coolant hose for you

Dont worry if its what i think its not the head, there is an aluminium plate thing bolted there,under/behind the turbo, IIRC it has a heat exchanger for the oil system, I've seen a few of them with cracks, but its not common, its quite tricky to replace it too as it involves removing a few parts,

hi , that sounds about the area its coming from, just below turbo, and its bolted on, and i can see a crack running from 1 ov the bolts about an inch long, is it expensive to replace,

No idea of the price but its the section enclosed at the top,14-300 and is the big outer casing. http://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsm ... mgno=.html
