TD5 Water leak

Anyone have any ideas as to how serious this is?

Hi, think you need to expand on this.
First impression of your pic is that your aluminium inlet manifold is going rusty!

if its the drips this could be comming from one of the core plugs. pic a bit difficult to see anything to be honest but if not i would take it to the nearest land rover garage (indipendent)for them to take a look..

Difficult to see what you referring to in pic. Water leak on my TD5 in that area is from fuel cooler. Trying to souce some seals to do DIY repair.

Howzit Andre!

SKF should be able to sort you with seals, O rings and things. Each time I go in there I am amazed by the thousands upon thousands of "goetertjies" they have there.

What I've since discovered (no pun intended) in that one of the plugs in the block has rusted through. No I'm missioning to get the starter off so I can get to the plug to fix it with Alcolin plastic steel. My independent mechanic came around yesterday to have a look, booked the truck in for 17 May and suggested I do a temprary repair. The temparary repair might just become permanent :p
